This is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, at the base we have congruent angles (look at the picture).
We have the equation:
(5x + 13)° + (3x + 7)° = 180°
5x + 13 + 3x + 7 = 180 <em>combine like terms</em>
(5x + 3x) + (13 + 7) = 180
8x + 20 = 180 <em>subtract 20 from both sides</em>
8x = 160 <em>divide both sides by 8</em>
<h3>x = 20</h3>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As I mentioned earlier with a single side (line), rotations do not change the size of something. Only dilations do that. This goes for both lines AND shapes.
However, if the question said she dilated the piece, then yes, the length in inches would be different. However, rotation just changes the position and nothing happens to the length.
Hope this helped!
