The way you typed it, it seems like you need to know the total number of beads, which would be 300
X=20
If they're parallel the other number in the same spot as 5x+15 equals that, so 5x+15=115 because if they are parallel they're the same if same spot and same line going through them.
115-15 = 100
5x=100
Divide by 5 both sides
X=20
If x=20 then these lines would be parallel
First, you plot the coordinates to visualize the problem clearly. As you can see in the picture, the longest sides could either be one of those marked in red. This could be initially determined when you use visual estimation. We measure this using the distance formula: d = √[(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)]
Between coordinates (0,3) and (3,6)
d = √[(3-0)^2 + (6-3)^2)]
d= 4.24 units
Between coordinates (2,1) and (5,4)
d = √[(5-2)^2 + (4-1)^2)]
d= 4.24 units
They are of equal length. Both are the longest sides which measures
4.24 units.
