(2)2+1=5
3(1)+1=4 is your answer
Answer:
The slopes of WX and XZ
Step-by-step explanation:
The singular factor that determines if the parallelogram is a rectangle are the angles at the edges
Mathematically, we can only have a rectangle if there are four right angles with one right angle each at the edges of the rectangle
So, by having the slope of the sides forming the width and that which forms the length, we can deduce if what we have is rectangle given that the slopes will yield a perpendicular product
Hence, the slopes of WX and XZ can be calculated to show this
Perpendicular lines, when intersecting, will always create a right angle at the intersection point. A right angle is an angle that is exactly 90 degrees.
There 2 angles are corresponding angles, in which the angle measurements would have the same degree.
Set the two angles equal to each other, and solve for x.
7x - 1 = 8x - 14
Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides, and add 1 to both sides
7x (-8x) - 1 (+1) = -14 (+1)
7x - 8x = -14 + 1
-x = -13
Isolate the x. Divide -1 from both sides
(-x)/-1 = (-13)/-1
x = -13/-1
x = 13
13 is your answer for x.
