AB = x + 8

Mathematics
1 answer:
vivado [14]3 years ago

Answer: The length of BC is 7

Step-by-step explanation: Assuming the lengths of the opposite sides of the quadrilateral are congruent, then

AB=DC and

AD=BC

Inputting the values of AB, DC and AD as given in the question:

x + 8 = 3x ...(1)

x + 3=? ...(2)

We have to solve for the value of x to get the actual lengths and thus ascertain BD.

From equation (1):

8 = 3x - x

8 = 2x

8/2 = x

Therefore, x = 4.

If x = 4 then equation(2) would be

4 + 3= 7.

Hence, the actual lengths of the quadrilateral are:

AB = 4 + 8. DC = 3(4)

=12. =12.

AD = 4 + 3. AD = BC

= 7. Therefore, BC = 7.

Hence, it is confirmed that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram since both the opposite sides are proven to be congruent.

<h2>○=> <u>Correct option</u> :</h2><h2>\color{hotpink}\bold{ (a) \: 130}</h2><h3>○=> <u>Steps to derive correct option</u> :</h3>

Angle (p+7)° and angle (3p+1)° are a linear pair so their sum will be equal to 180°.

Which means :

=\tt 3p + 1 + p + 7 = 180

Let us solve that equation to find the value of p and the two angles :

=\tt 3p + 1 + p + 7 = 180

=\tt 3p + p + 1 + 7 = 180

=\tt 4p + 8 = 180

= \tt4p = 180 - 8

= \tt4p = 172

=\tt p =  \frac{172}{4}

\hookrightarrow \tt  \color{plum}p = 43

Thus, value of p = 43

Measure of angle (p+7)° :

=\tt 43 + 7

\tt\color{plum}angle \: (p + 7)° =\tt 50°

Measure of angle (3p+1)° :

=\tt 43 \times 3 + 1

= \tt129 + 1

\tt\color{plum}angle \: (3p + 1)° = 130°

Thus, the measure of the larger angle = 130°

Therefore, the correct option is <em>(a) 130</em>

The length of a rectangle is 3 yd less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 44 yd^2 Find the dimensions of the
vovangra [49]

Answer:

width: 5.5 yd; length: 8 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the rectangle in yards. Then 2w-3 is the length and the area is the product of length and width:

w(2w-3) = 44

2w^2 -3w -44 = 0 . . . . put the equation into standard form

(w+4)(2w -11) = 0 . . . . . factor the equation

w = -4 or 11/2 . . . . . . . . the negative solution is extraneous

Then the length is 2·(11/2) -3 = 8.

The width of the rectangle is 5.5 yards; the length is 8 yards.
