Answer:

  • 10 ft
  • 7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths are 1/4 of the perimeter, so we can say ...

  the sum of side lengths is 68 ft/4 = 17 ft

  the difference of side lengths is 12 ft/4 = 3 ft

Using x to represent the side length of the smaller square, we have ...

  x + (x +3) = 17 . . . . . . the larger square has side length x+3

  2x = 14 . . . . . . . . . subtract 3

  x = 7 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The side lengths of the squares are 7 feet and 10 feet.

How Do I do proofs for proving triangles?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
You must have been taught postulates and theorems that allow you to prove triangles congruent, such as SSS, SAS, ASA, etc. Look at the given information of a proof, and see how from the given information, using definitions, postulates, and theorems you have already learned, you can show pairs of corresponding sides and angles to be congruent that will fit into the above methods. Then use one of the methods to prove the triangles congruent.
