Answer:
4 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of a rectangle is reduced by Shawna to a size of 2 inches.
The original width of the rectangle was 24 inches and the height was 12 inches.
If the ratio of width to height remains the same, then we can find the new width.
If the new width is x inches then, we can write
⇒ x = 4 inches. (Answer)
The picture in the attached figure
step 1
we know that
It is given that AD and BD are bisectors of ∠CAB and ∠CBA respectively.
Therefore,
x = ∠CAB/2 -----> equation 1
y = ∠CBA/2 -----> equation 2
step 2
In triangle ABC,
∠CAB + ∠CBA + ∠ACB = 180° ----> [The sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180°]
∠CAB + ∠CBA + 110° = 180°
∠CAB + ∠CBA = 180° - 110°
∠CAB + ∠CBA = 70° ------> divide by 2 both sides
∠CAB/2 + ∠CBA/2 = 70/2 -------> equation 3
substitute equation 1 and equation 2 in equation 3
x+y=35
hence
the answer is
x+y =35°
⇒ x + y = 35° ...[From equation (1) and (2)]
