On this picture is shown a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle and by the Inscribed Quadrilateral Theorem the angles on the opposite vertices are supplementary, or in other words are equals to 180 degrees. 

On this exercise it is asked to find the measure of angle B, First of all, you need to find the value of x. To so you have to select two opposite angles on this case angles A and C.

m<A+m<C=180      Substitute the given values for angles A and C
    x+2+x-2=180       Combine like terms
             2x=180       Divide by 2 in both sides to isolate x
               x=90

Now, that the value of x is known you can substitute it in the expression representing angle D, and then subtract that number from 180 to find the measure of angle B.

m<D=x-10             Substitute the value of x
m<D=90-10           Combine like terms
m<D=80

m<B=180-m<D       Substitute the value of angle D
m<B=180-80           Combine like terms 
m<B=100

The measure of angle B is 100 degrees, and the value of x is 90.

We are interested in the dimensions of a certain rectangle. this rectangle has length twice the side of the square and width thr
Mila [183]
Area of square = s^2
Area of Rectangle = lw
l = 2s

w+3 = s
solve for w, w=s-3
Now we have l and w.
Plug both into area of rectangle formula so: (2s)(s-3)
Since both areas are equal set both equations equal to each other:
(2s)(s-3)=s^2
Now simplify
2s^2-6s=s^2
s^2-6s=0, Solve for s.
Factor polynomial. s(s-6)=0 , s can be equal to 0 or 6. HOWEVER, you cannot have a side length of 0 therefore the side length has to be 6.
Now plug in s for the length formula for the rectangle:
l = 2s so... l = 2(6) so length of rectangle = 12.
Now plug in s for the width formula for the rectangle:
w+3=s so... w+3=6 so width of rectangle = 3.
Now the dimensions of the rectangle are 12 by 3. 12 being length and 3 width.
To CHECK:
Find area of rectangle:
A=lw so A=3 times 12 so A=36
Find area of square:
We know the side is equal to 6 so
A=s^2 so 6^2 = 36
The areas are equal that verifies the answer of 12 by 3.

What is the simplified form of the expression?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

7c^2d-7c+4d-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off with the term that has c^2 in it. 5c^2d + 2C = 7c^2d, then since you have multiple choice, the d value differs between the two answer choices that have 7c^2d so you can do +3d +d to get +4d to get the fourth answer choice.

To check your work, you can add/subtract each term to see if you get 7c^2d-7c+4d-10
