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.

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

There are now 6.5 ounces in the new bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, take 30% of 5 and add it to the original amount of 5

30% = 0.30

5 * 0.30 = 1.5

5 + 1.5 = 6.5 ounces of candy.

The ratio of the perimeters of two similar triangles is 4:3. What are the areas of these triangles if the sum of their areas is
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

the areas of these triangles are 83.2cm² and 46.8cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If the triangles are similar and the ratio of the perimeter ois 4:3, then the areas are in the following ratio:

4²:3²

 16:9                                                                      

2. The sum of their areas is 65 cm², then, you can calculate the area of the larger triangle as following:

130(16/16+9)

130(0.64)

=83.2cm²

3. The area of the smaller triangle is:

130(9/16+9)

130(0.36)

46.8cm²
