Hi there! :)
Find the perimeter by solving for y.
We know that a rectangle contains two pairs of parallel and congruent sides, therefore:
5y - 1 = 2y + 8
We can solve for y using this expression. Begin by subtracting 2y from both sides:
5y - 2y - 1 = 2y - 2y + 8
3y - 1 = 8
Add 1 to both sides:
3y - 1 + 1 = 8 + 1
3y = 9
Divide both sides by 3:
y = 3
Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2l + 2w
Plug in the given expressions for the side lengths to find one equation:
P = 2(5y - 1) + 2(y - 1)
Simplify by distribution:
P = 10y - 2 + 2y - 2
Combine like terms:
P = 12y - 4
Plug in the solved value of y into this equation:
P = 12(3) - 4
P = 36 - 4
P = 32 cm.
I think the answer maybe will be 3)5 and the reason why Is because
Answer:
Apply the distributive property
2x+2(4)=2x+8
Multiply 2 by 4
2x+8=2x+8
Move all terms containing x to the left and subtract 2x
2x+8-2x=8
Combine the opposite terms
2x+8-2x
Subtract 2x from 2x
0+8=8
8=8
All real number

Answer:
d) 135º
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the angle DCU is the sum of the angles DCB and BCU. The angle DCB is 90º because A B C D is a square, then all its angles are equal to 90º.
After attaching B U C to A B C D, we obtain a trapezoid A U C D. Since A U C D has at least one pair of parallel sides, then AU should be parallel to CD, thus the angle CBU must be 90º.
B U C is isoceles, so we conclude that other two angles must have the same size, and due to the sum of the angles of a triangle being 180º, then both BUC and BCU are equal to 45º
As a result, the angle DCU is equal to 90º+45º = 135º. Option d is the correct one.
