Answer:

$x=4,\\y=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that in the diagram, opposite sides are equal. This is true for any rectangle, so even without the equal sides being marked, we'd know that each pair of opposite sides have the same length.

Therefore, we can set up the following equations and solve for $x$ and $y$ :

$2y=y+8,\\y=\boxed{8}$

$4x-8=2x,\\-8=-2x,\\x=\boxed{4}$

Am I correct? If not what did I do wrong

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

You are not correct. Here's an explanation as to why: First of all, the triangle is isosceles, since it has two congruent sides that leads to the conclusion of two congruent angles, one opposite each side. This means that all three angle measurements of the triangle are x degrees, x degrees, and 40 degrees. To solve for x, add all three values together and set them equal to 180 degrees, the sum of three angles in any triangle. Your mistake is adding only one x to 40, which isn't inclusive of all three triangles. I hope this helped!

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

A. 30 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 5,280 feet by 1,760, you get a quotient of 3. Then you multiply 10 times 3 to get 30 miles.

Find the measures of the angles in the figure.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

$120^o,\,120^o,\,60^o,\,\,\,and\,\,\,60^o$

which agrees with the first answer in the list of possible options.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the fact that the addition of all four internal angles of a quadrilateral must render $360^o$ . Then we can create the following equation and solve for the unknown "h":
