Hey there! :D

21= 2x-6+x

21=3x-6

27=3x

x=9

The smaller number is 9.

The larger number is:

9*2= 18 18-6= 12

The larger number is 12.

I hope this helps!

We have that AB || DC.

By a similar argument used to prove that AEB ≅ CED,we can show that (AED) ≅ CEB by (SAS) . So, ∠CAD ≅ ∠ (ACB) by CPCTC. Therefore, AD || BC by the converse of the (
ALTERNATE INTERIOR ANGLES) theorem. Since both pair of opposite sides are parallel, quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram

We know that
circumference=2*pi*r
for r=7 in
circumference=2*pi*7------> 14*pi in

if 360° (full circle) has a length of------------ 14*pi in
135°-----------------------------> x
x=135*14*pi/360----------> x=5.25*pi in--------> 16.49 in
