Type the correct answer in each box. The length of a rectangle is 2 inches more than its width. The perimeter of the rectangle i

s 24 inches. The equation 2x + 2(x + 2) = 24, where x is the width in inches, represents this situation. The value of x from the set {1, 3, 5, 7} that holds true for the equation is . So, the width of the rectangle is inches and its length is inches

Answer:

x=5 in (Width)

x+2=5+2=7 in (Length)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the equation 2x+2(x+2)=24 to solve for x where x is the width.

First step, use distributive property 2x+2x+4=24

Second step, subtract 4 on both sides  and combine the like terms on the left hand side: 4x=20

Divide both sides by 4:  x=20/4

So x=5 in

And since length is 2 more than the width so the length is 2+5=7 in

Answer:

Given: In triangle ABC and triangle DBE where DE is parallel to AC.

In ΔABC and ΔDBE

DE || AC   [Given]

As we know, a line that cuts across two or more parallel lines.  In the given figure, the line AB is a transversal.

Line segment  AB is transversal that intersects two parallel lines.  [Conclusion from statement 1.]

Corresponding angles theorem: two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the  corresponding angles are congruent.

then;

\angle BDE \cong \angle BAC  and

\angle BEC \cong \angle BCA

Reflexive property of equality states that if angles in geometric figures can be congruent to themselves.

by Reflexive property of equality:

\angle B \cong \angle B  

By AAA (Angle Angle Angle) similarity postulates states that all three pairs of corresponding angles are the same then, the triangles are similar

therefore, by AAA similarity postulates theorem

\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DBE

Similar triangles are triangles with equal corresponding angles and proportionate side.

then, we have;

\frac{BD}{BA}                  [By definition of similar triangles]

therefore, the missing statement and the reasons are

Statement                                                                   Reason

3.\angle BDE \cong \angle BAC      Corresponding angles theorem

and  \angle BEC \cong \angle BCA        

5. \triangle ABC \sim \triangle DBE   AAA similarity postulates    

6. BD over BA                                                    Definition of similar triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios

3              6

------ = ------------

15            x

Using cross products

3x = 6*15

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 6*15/3

x = 30
