What must be true for lines a and b to be parallel lines? Select two options.
Rasek [7]

The expression that must be true for a to be parallel to b are mAngle2 = 58Degrees and <1 = 4x - 10

<h3>Lines and angles</h3>

A line is the shortest distance between two points and the point where two lines meet is known as an angle

From the figure shown

m<2 = 58 degrees (alternate exterior angle)

Since the sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees, hence;

3x-1+<2 + 4x - 10= 180

3x-1 + 58 + 4x - 10 =180

7x + 47 = 180

7x = 180- 47

7x = 133

x = 19

Hence the expression that must be true for a to be parallel to b are mAngle2 = 58Degrees and <1 = 4x - 10

L = 20 cm, W = 10cm

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2L+2W

P=60,L=2W

60 = 2(2W)+2W

60=4W+2W

60=6W

W=10

plug in L=2W

L=2x10

L=20
