I'll talk you through it so you can see why it's true, and then
you can set up the 2-column proof on your own:

Look at the two pointy triangles, hanging down like moth-wings
on each side of 'OC'.

-- Their long sides are equal,  OA = OB, because both of those lines
are radii of the big circle.

-- Their short sides are equal, OC = OC, because they're both the same line.

-- The angle between their long side and short side ... the two angles up at 'O',
are equal, because OC is the bisector of the whole angle there.

-- So now you have what I think you call 'SAS' ... two sides and the included angle of one triangle equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.
(When I was in high school geometry, this was not called 'SAS' ... the alphabet
did not extend as far as 'S' yet, and we had to call this congruence theorem
"broken arrow".)

These triangles are not congruent the way they are now, because one is
the mirror image of the other one.  But if you folded the paper along 'OC',
or if you cut one triangle out and turn it over, it would exactly lie on top of
the other one, and they would be congruent.

So their angles at 'A' and at 'B' are also equal ... those are the angles that
you need to prove equal.

2 x length + 2 x width = perimeter.

2(2s-5) + 2(4s-13) = 108

Simplify:

4s-10 + 8s-26 = 108

Combine like terms:

12s - 36 = 108

Add 36 to both sides:

12s = 144

Divide both sides by 12:

s = 144/12

s = 12

Now replace s with 12 in each equation:

2(12) - 5 = 24-5 = 19

4(12) - 13 = 48-13 = 35

The answer is d. 35,35, 19,19

Can someone please help me with this?

The angle formed by two tangles results in half of the difference of the two arcs. 

That is to say 

70 = .5(Major arc - minor arc)

Think of the major arc as the larger and the minor the smaller.

So therefore the difference in the two arcs = 140 (multiplying both sides of the above equation by 2.

140 = major arc - minor arc.

Another necessary idea is that the arc of a whole circle = 360 degrees, that is to say the major arc + minor arc = 360, giving us a second equation to solve.
Assuming x is the minor arc.

140 = major arc - x 
360 = major arc + x

Use linear combination and add these equations to get

500 = 2*major arc

major arc = 250
minor arc or x = 110.

The answer is 110 degrees.

m∠RSU=(5x+7)° and m∠UST=(9x−1)°. If ∠RSU and ∠UST are complementary, what is the measure of each angle?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

37° and 53° respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to know that the angles are complementtary if ∠RSU + ∠UST = 90°. Then,

5x+7 + 9x-1 = 90

5x + 9x +7 -1 = 90

14x +6 = 90

14x = 90 - 6

14x = 84

x = 84/14

x = 6.

Then, the angle ∠RSU has measure 5(6)+ 7 = 30+7 = 37, and the angle ∠UST has measure 9(6) - 1 = 54-1 = 53.
