The answer is A guys, I just took the test. Your Welcome (:
Your simplified answer is indeed 2/3 (or 60%, or 0.6) because the fraction 24/36 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6, which leaves you with 2/3.
For this case what we should do is observe the figure.
We note that the side opposite to vertex B is the AC side.
From here, we can see that the length of the AC segment is given by:
AC = 4
Therefore, the measurement on the side opposite to vertex B is equal to 4 units.
Answer:
The length of the side opposite B measures 4 units
The values of X and Y are 30 and 11 respectively
<h3>How to determine the values of X and Y?</h3>
The figure that represents the complete question is added as an attachment
The given parameters are:
DH = X +3
HF = 3Y
GH = 2X -5
HE = 5Y
From the attached parallelogram, we have:
DH = HF
GH = HE
Substitute the known values in the above equation
X + 3 = 3Y
2X - 5 = 5Y
Make X the subject in X + 3 = 3Y
X = 3Y - 3
Substitute X = 3Y - 3 in 2X - 5 = 5Y
2(3Y - 3) - 5 = 5Y
Expand
6Y - 6 - 5 = 5Y
Evaluate the like terms
Y = 11
Substitute Y = 11 in X = 3Y - 3
X = 3*11 - 3
Evaluate
X = 30
Hence, the values of X and Y are 30 and 11 respectively
