If triangles AMN and ABC are similar, then
AM/AB = AN/AC
or
AM/(AM + MB) = AN/(AN + NC)
Check if this is true:
AM/AB = 21/(21 + 9) = 21/30 = 7/10
AN/AC = 14/(14 + 6) = 14/20 = 7/10
The angle at vertex A is common to both of the triangles.
Then by the side-angle-side (SAS) similarity theorem, the triangles are indeed similar.

Define length and width
--------------------------------------------------
Let x be the width
width = x
Length = 2x + 4
--------------------------------------------------
Formula
--------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
--------------------------------------------------
Find Length and width
--------------------------------------------------
62 = 2(2x + 4 + x)
62 = 2(3x + 4) <em> ← combine like terms </em>
62 = 6x + 8 <em>← remove bracket </em>
62 - 8 = 6x <em>← minus 8 on both sides </em>
6x = 54 <em> ← swap sides </em>
x = 54 ÷ 6 <em>← divide by 6 on both sides</em>
<em>x = 9 m</em>
--------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
--------------------------------------------------
Width = x = 9 m
Length = 2x + 4 = 2(9) + 4 = 22 m
--------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 22m

Answer:
Car
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, the car is 21 feet in one second.
6*21=126
The truck, however, is 18 feet per second.
18*6=108
The car is faster.
