Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, two sides and two angles are equal.

The shortest side of an isosceles triangle is 2x+5 inches. The 2 longest sides are 3 inches longer. This means that the length of each of the longer sides is

2x + 5 + 3 = 2x + 8 inches

The formula for determining the perimeter of a triangle is expressed as

Perimeter = a + b + c

Where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle.

The perimeter of the triangle is 21 inches. Therefore, the equation that can be used to find the length of each side of the triangle is

2x + 5 + 2x + 8 + 2x + 8 = 21

6x + 21 = 21

A quadrilateral can be inscribed in a circle, if and only if, the opposite angles in that quadrilateral are supplementary.
balandron [24]

The cyclic quadrilateral's opposing angles are 180 degrees, which become supplementary angles.

<h3>What is a cyclic quadrilateral?</h3>

If the quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle then the quadrilateral is known as a cyclic quadrilateral.

A quadrilateral can be inscribed in a circle, if and only if, the opposite angles in that quadrilateral are supplementary.

We know that the sum of the opposite angles of the cyclic quadrilateral is equal to 180 degrees.

Supplementary angle - Two angles are said to be supplementary angles if their sum is 180 degrees.

More about the cyclic quadrilateral link is given below.
