Answer: 11x
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
Let L be the length of rectangle B
There are two copies of L (along the top and bottom of the rectangle). The vertical pairs of sides are both 7x each.
For the triangle, we have three sides of 12x since this is an equilateral triangle. All three sides are congruent for any equilateral triangle.
The perimeter of the triangle is
P = s1+s2+s3
P = 12x+12x+12x
P = 36x
The perimeter of the rectangle is
P = 2*L+2*W
P = 2L+2*7x
P = 2L+14x
Since both perimeters are the same, this means
perimeter of triangle = perimeter of rectangle
36x = 2L+14x
36x-14x = 2L+14x-14x
22x = 2L
2L = 22x
2L/2 = 22x/2
L = 11x
So the length of the rectangle, in terms of x, is 11x. This is the final answer.
Note: if we knew the value of x, then we could find the numeric value of the length for the rectangle. But since we don't know x, we leave it as 11x.
Answer:
the measure of the exterior angle is 87 degrees.
Answer: 1-17/30, or 47/30
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the common denominator. In this case, it’s 30. Multiply the numerators to fit the new denominator. (10•3=30, so 9•3=27, and 2•10=20.)
Your new fractions are 27/30 and 20/30. Now add the numerators.
27+20=47.
Your new fraction is 47/30.
Now check if you can simplify. Since 47 is a prime number, this fraction is in its simplest form. However, it is an improper fraction, so you can simplify it to 1-17/30.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation
comparing the equation with the slope-intercept form
Here,
so the slope of the line is m = -2/5
As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line,
so the slope of the perpendicular line will be: 5/2
Therefore, the point-slope form of the equation of the perpendicular line that goes through (2,-8) is:
subtract 8 from both sides
