Answer:

5cm by 1.95cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be x

Let the width be y

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2x + 2y

If the initial perimeter of a rectangle is about 13.9 cm, then;

13.9 = 2x + 2y ..... 1

If when the width is double the perimeter is 17.8cm, then;

17.8 = 2x + 4y ..... 2

Subtract 1 from 2;

13.9 - 17.8 = 2y - 4y

- 3.9 = -2y

y = 3.9/2

y = 1.95 cm

Substitute y = 1.95 into 1 to get x;

From 1;

13.9 = 2x + 2y

13.9 = 2x + 2(1.95)

13.9 = 2x + 3.9

2x = 13.9-3.9

2x = 10

x = 5 cm

Hence the dimension of the smaller triangle is 5cm by 1.95cm

Angle 3 and angle 4 are supplementary angles. Angle 3 is 88. What is the measure of angle 4?
Mademuasel [1]
Since angles 3 and 4 are supplementary, they add up to 180 degrees.

Angle 3 is 88 degrees.

To get the measure of the last angle, let's subtract 88 from 180.

180 - 88 = 92

Thus, Angle 4 has a measure of 92 degrees.

Have an awesome day! :)
