The value of x is 3, while the length of the rectangle is 30 units and the width is 24 units.
<h3>How to determine the dimensions?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Base = 5(x+3)
Height = 2(x+9)
Perimeter = 108
The perimeter of a rectangle is
P = 2 *(Base + Height)
So, we have:
2 *(5(x + 3) + 2(x + 9)) = 108
Divide both sides by 2
5(x + 3) + 2(x + 9) = 54
Open the brackets
5x + 15 + 2x + 18 = 54
Evaluate the like terms
7x = 21
Divide by 7
x = 3
Substitute x = 3 in Base = 5(x+3) and Height = 2(x+9)
Base = 5(3+3) = 30
Height = 2(3+9) = 24
Hence, the value of x is 3, while the length of the rectangle is 30 units and the width is 24 units.

Apply the distributive property:

<span>1) We are given that PA = PB, so PA ≅ PB by the definition of the radius.
</span>When you draw a perpendicular to a segment AB, you take the compass, point it at A and draw an arc of size AB, then you do the same pointing the compass on B. Point P will be one of the intersections of those two arcs. Therefore PA and PB correspond to the radii of the arcs, which were taken both equal to AB, therefore they are congruent.
2) We know that angles PCA and PCB are right angles by the definition of perpendicular.
Perpendicularity is the relation between two lines that meet at a right angle. Since we know that PC is perpendicular to AB by construction, ∠PCA and ∠PCB are right angles.
3) PC ≅ PC by the reflexive property congruence.
The reflexive property congruence states that any shape is congruent to itself.
4) So, triangle ACP is congruent to triangle BCP by HL, and AC ≅ BC by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent).
CPCTC states that if two triangles are congruent, then all of the corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Since ΔACP ≡ ΔBCP, then the corresponding sides AC and BC are congruent.
5) Since PC is perpendicular to and bisects AB, P is on the perpendicular bisector of AB by the definition of the perpendicular bisector.
<span>The perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line that cuts the segment into two equal parts (bisector) and that forms with the segment a right angle (perpendicular). Any point on the perpendicular bisector has the same distance from the segment's extremities. PC has exactly the characteristics of a perpendicular bisector of AB. </span>
Answer:
80 Strawberries
Step-by-step explanation:
If she picked 120 strawberries in 6 hours
Then in 1hour she picked 120/6 = 20 strawberries
Then in 4 hours she picked 20×4 = 80 strawberries
Answer:
(- 1, 1) and (- 5, - 35)
Step-by-step explanation:
since both equations express y in terms of x, equate the right sides
x² + 15x + 15 = - x² + 3x + 5 ( subtract - x² + 3x + 5 from both sides )
2x² + 12x + 10 = 0 ( divide all terms by 2 )
x² + 6x + 5 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 1)(x + 5) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
substitute these values into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
x = - 1 : y = (- 1)² + 15(- 1) + 15 = 1 - 15 + 15 = 1 ⇒ (- 1, 1 )
x = - 5 : y = (- 5)² + 15(- 5) + 15 = 25 - 75 + 15 = - 35 ⇒ (- 5, - 35 )
