The opposite sides of a rectangle will always be congruent. If they aren't, it's not a rectangle.

To find CD, you need to find what z is. This can be found using the given, the perimeter, and plugging that into the perimeter formula using the information given. You end up with 2(4z - 3) + 2(3z - 1) = 132. Solve for z and you find that z = 10.

CD is congruent to AB, which is 3z -1. Plug z in to get AB = 29. Since AB = CD, CD = 29.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2(L+W)

we are given the perimeter, and the length and width. we can plug everything we are given into the equation to solve for Z.

132 = 2[(4z-3) + (3z-1)]

132 = 2[ 7z-4]

132 = 14z-8

140=14z

10=z

now that we have the value of z, we can plug it in for the equation for line AB. line AB and line CD are the same since this is a rectangle

CD = 3z-1

CD = 3(10)-1

CD= 30-1

CD=29 units

hope this helped!

y = 2x squared + 5x -3 can be written in the form y= 2( x+a) squared + b . Find the value of a and the value of b.

Elan Coil [88]

General vertex form:

$y = m(x − a)² + b \: with \: vertex \: at \: (a, b)$

Given :

$y = 2x² + 5x - 3$

Extract "spread factor" m

$y = 2( x² + \frac{5}{2} x) - 3$

Complete the square

$y = 2(x² + \frac{5}{2}x + ( \frac{5}{4})²) - 3$

$- 2( \frac{5}{4})²$

Write as a squared binomial and simplify the constant

$y = 2(x + \frac{5}{4})² - 6 \frac{1}{8}$

Re-write to match signs of standard general form:

$y = 2(x - ( - \frac{5}{4}))² \: + ( - 6 \frac{1}{8})$

I'm not sure what AAS,SAS,SSS,ASA mean .how do I solve this?

notka56 [123]

Answer:

AAS is an acronym for Angle-Angle-Side. It basically means that if two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding nonincluded side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. SAS is an acronym for Side-Angle-Side. It means that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. SSS is an acronym for Side-Side-Side. It means that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. ASA is an acronym for Angle-Side-Angle. It means that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

In the problem, we know that the corresponding sides of both triangles are congruent to each other, so those would be given. The third side of each triangle would also be congruent because of reflexive property. Reflexive property means that the two triangles share a line segment. So, the answer would be SSS.
