Ok got it. If you have any questions just ask in the chat below :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 2 * (Side A + Side B)
= 2 * (3x + 2 + x - 5)
= 2 * (4x - 3)
= 8x - 6.
We have 8x - 6 = 50, so 8x = 56 and x = 7.
Length of rectangle = 3(7) + 2 = 23.
Width of rectangle = (7) - 5 = 2.
See the picture attached.
We know:
NM // XZ
NY = transversal line
∠YXZ ≡ ∠YNM
1) <span>
We know that ∠XYZ is congruent to ∠NYM by the reflexive property.</span>
The reflexive property states that any shape is congruent to itself.
∠NYM is just a different way to call ∠XYZ using different vertexes, but the sides composing the two angles are the same.
Hence, ∠XYZ ≡ <span>∠NYM</span> by the reflexive property.
2) Δ<span>
XYZ is similar to ΔNYM by the AA (angle-angle) similarity theoremThe AA similarity theorem states that if two triangles have a pair of corresponding angles congruent, then the two triangles are similar.
Consider </span>Δ<span>XYZ and ΔNYM:
</span>∠YXZ ≡ <span>∠YNM
</span>∠XYZ ≡ ∠NYM
Hence, ΔXYZ is similar to ΔNYM by the AA similarity theorem.
