x = length

y = width

---

2x + 2y = 60

x/y = 3/2

2x = 3y

---

put the system of linear equations into standard form

---

2x + 2y = 60

2x - 3y = 0

---

solution:

length = 18 cm

width = 12 cm

Hope this helps!

Given segments AB and CD intersect at E.

nata0808 [166]

The length of a segment is the distance between its endpoints.

$\mathbf{AB = 3\sqrt{2}}$
AB and CD are not congruent
AB does not bisect CD
CD does not bisect AB

(a) Length of AB

We have:

$\mathbf{A = (1,2)}$

$\mathbf{B = (4,5)}$

The length of AB is calculated using the following distance formula

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{(1 - 4)^2 + (2 - 5)^2}}$

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{18}}$

Simplify

$\mathbf{AB = 3\sqrt{2}}$

(b) Are AB and CD congruent

First, we calculate the length of CD using:

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}$

Where:

$\mathbf{C = (2, 4)}$

$\mathbf{D = (2, 1)}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{(2 -2)^2 + (4 - 1)^2}}$

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{9}}$

$\mathbf{CD = 3}$

By comparison

$\mathbf{CD \ne AB}$

Hence, AB and CD are not congruent

(c) AB bisects CD or not?

If AB bisects CD, then:

$\mathbf{AB = \frac 12 \times CD}$

The above equation is not true, because:

$\mathbf{3\sqrt 2 \ne \frac 12 \times 3}$

Hence, AB does not bisect CD

(d) CD bisects AB or not?

If CD bisects AB, then:

$\mathbf{CD = \frac 12 \times AB}$

The above equation is not true, because:

$\mathbf{3 \ne \frac 12 \times 3\sqrt 2}$

Hence, CD does not bisect AB
