Answer:

7 inches and 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The length the length and width of the rectangle be l and b.

Accodrding to question,

Width, b = l-2

Perimeter, P = 24 inches

We know that,

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by :

P = 2(l+b)

24 = 2(l+l-2)

12 = 2l-2

14=2l

l = 7 inches

Width, b = 7-2 = 5 inches

Hence, the length and width of the rectangle are 7 inches and 5 inches respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement:

2-) ∠BAC = ∠EDC

<em>Reason:</em>

Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal (Alternate Interior Angles Theorem)

Statement:

3-) AC = CD

<em>Reason:</em>

CPCTC ("Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent")

Statement:

4-) ∠BCA = ∠DCE

<em>Reason:</em>

Vertical Angles Theorem (states that vertical angles, angles that are opposite each other and formed by two intersecting straight lines, are congruent)

Statement:

5-) triangle ABC = triangle DEC

ASA Postulate

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. (The included side is the side between the vertices of the two angles.)
