Answer for part A is  \angle A \cong \angle D which in English means "angle A is congruent to angle D"

The reason why we know that angle A and angle D are congruent is because they are both right angles. By the right angle congruence theorem (the reason just below the blank for part A), we can say that angle A = angle D. They are both 90 degree angles. 

------------------------------------------------
Answer for the blank in part B is "Given" without quotation marks of course. This is the first "given" while the second given is coming up in part C

------------------------------------------------
For part C, the other given is \angle C \cong \angle F so that's what will go in the blank. It may seem silly, but all we're doing is repeating verbatim what is given to us. With any proof, you always start with what you are given and somehow connect it with what you're trying to prove

------------------------------------------------
Finally, the answer for the blank in part D is "AAS Congruence Theorem" (without quotes)

The AAS congruence theorem allows us to prove two triangles congruent if we know if two pairs of angles are congruent plus if we know two sides are congruent as well.

The angle portions are covered by part A and part C. The side portions are part B's territory. Combining A, B, & C allows us to use the AAS theorem

Note: It is NOT the ASA theorem because the two angles do not sandwich the sides. In other words, the side AB is not between the two angles A and C. Similarly, DE is not between the two angles D and F. The order is very important as ASA is slightly different than AAS.

The length of a rectangle is 8 feet more than its width. If the width is increased by 4 feet and the length is decreased by 5 fe
alexgriva [62]
Let the width be x.

Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8

Area = x(x + 8)

width increased by 4, that is,  (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5,    (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)

Area  = (x + 4)(x +3)

Area remains the same

x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)

x² + 8x =   x(x +3) + 4(x +3)

 x² + 8x =   x² +3x + 4x +12

x² + 8x =   x² +7x +12        Eliminate x² from both sides

8x = 7x + 12

8x - 7x = 12

x = 12

Dimensions of original rectangle :  x,  x + 8

12, 12 +8 =   12, 20

Original rectangle is   20 feet   by 12 feet
