Answer:

CD = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB = 3x + 2, CD = 3x + 2

To solve for the length of CD, we'll need to solve for x first by using the perimeter formula

Solving for x...

$(3x+2)+(3x+2)+2x+2x=124$

$3x + 3x + 2x + 2x = 120$

$10x=120$

$x=\frac{120}{10}$

$x=12$

Now that we know what x equals, plug in x into the expression of side CD

CD = 3x + 2

CD = 3(12) + 2

CD = 36 + 2

CD = 38

Therefore, the length of side CD = 38

-------------------------------------------------------

Check:

AB = CD | BC = DA

38 + 38 for AB and CD

BC + DA = 2x + 2x

BC + DA = 2(12) + 2(12)

BC + DA = 24 + 24

BC + DA = 48

38 + 38 + 48 = perimeter

perimeter = 124

Phoenix [80]

From the given figure, we can note that segment XW and ZW are congruent. Similarly, XY and YZ are congruent. Additionally, both triangles share side YW. By means of the Side-side-side theorem, all corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Therefore, the answer is option C,

(csc x - 1) (csc x + 1)

victus00 [196]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Here we have the following expression:

$(csc x - 1) (csc x + 1)$

So we need to extend this. Remember that the difference of squares tells us:

$(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2$

So here:

$a=cscx \\ \\ b=1$

Thus:

$(csc x - 1) (csc x + 1)=csc^2x-1 \\ \\ \\ But: \\ \\ cscx=\frac{1}{sinx} \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ csc^2x-1=\frac{1}{sin^2x}-1=\frac{1-sin^2x}{sin^2x}=\frac{cos^2x}{sin^2x}=cot^2x \\ \\ \\ Finally: \\ \\ \boxed{(csc x - 1) (csc x + 1)=cot^2x}$
