They hiked the same distance because they were hiking at the same rate.
We can use the vertical angle theorem which states that any two opposite angles are congruent. So, you can just set the two measures equal to each other and solve for x:




So, your answer is
20°.
The correct answer is A.
The independent variable is time and the dependent variable is distance; this means the slope tells us how far she goes per minute. Since the slope is negative and we are referring to her distance from her house, this means the distance from her house is decreasing, which means she is getting closer to her house.
So, we know the perimeter is 24 cm. and the top part is the left part, (x) + 2, but remember, we need to have it be a number that, multiplied by 2, is 24. So, using this formula, the length, (top / bottom) is 7, and x = 5. Because 5 + 5 = 10, and when length is +2, it adds up to 14. 10 + 14 = 24. So, length is 7, width, (left, right) is 5.
