Answer:

The perimeter of triangle PQR is 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the triangles PQR and STU

1. PQ ≅ ST = 4 ft (Given)

2. ∠PQR ≅ ∠STU  (Given)

3. QR ≅ TU = 6 ft (Given)

Therefore, the two triangles are congruent by SAS postulate.

Now, from CPCTE, PR = SU. Therefore,

3y-2=y+4\\3y-y=4+2\\2y=6\\y=\frac{6}{2}=3

Now, side PR is given by plugging in 3 for 'y'.

PR = 3(3) - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7 ft

Now, perimeter of a triangle PQR is the sum of all of its sides.

Therefore, Perimeter = PQ + QR + PR

                                   = (4 + 6 + 7) ft

                                   = 17 ft

Hence, the perimeter of triangle PQR is 17 ft.

Answer:

x° is 66°  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram, we have;

∠JIH = 105° Given

∠IDJ = 39° Given

Therefore, we have;

∠JID and ∠JIH are supplementary angles, by the sum of angles on a straight line

∴ ∠JID + ∠JIH = 180° by definition of supplementary angles

∠JID + 105° = 180° by substitution property

∠JID = 180° - 105° = 75° by angle subtraction postulate

∠JID = 75°

∠IDJ + ∠JID + ∠IJD = 180° by the sum of interior angles of a triangle

∠IJD = 180° - (∠IDJ + ∠JID)  = 180° - (39° + 75°) = 66° angle subtraction postulate

∠IJD = 66°

∠x° ≅ ∠IJD, by vertically opposite angles

∴ ∠x° = ∠IJD = 66° by the definition of congruency

∠x° = 66°

What is 6.685 rounded to the nearest hundredths place
loris [4]

Answer:

6.69

Step-by-step explanation:

The hundredths place is two decimal places to the right. This lands you at 8, so you must look at the number after it to determine whether you round up or down. So you look at 5, which rounds the 8 up to 9. Therefore, it is 6.69
