Answer:

<h2><em><u>124</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Given</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

Perimeter of fencing bought by Claire for rectangular garden

= 2(4x - 4 + x - 4)

= 2 ( 5x - 8 )

= 10x - 16

Perimeter of fencing bought by Claire for triangular garden

= (3x - 1) + (3x - 1) + 3x

= 3x + 3x + 3x - 1 - 1

= 9x - 2

<em><u>Since</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

The two gardens have same perimeter,

<em><u>By</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>the</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>problem</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em>

10x - 16 = 9x - 2

=> 10x - 9x = 16 - 2

=> x = 14

<em><u>Hence</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

<em><u>Feet</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>of</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>fencing</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>bought</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>by</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>her</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

Putting value in any of the perimeters of the gardens,

10x - 16

= 10(14) - 16

= 140 - 16

= <em><u>124 feet (Ans)</u></em>

Can someone tell me what’s going on here

Answer:

c = 105 degres

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines cross like that and form an x, the opposite sides are equal (so the angle below the 75 degree one is also 75 degees). Using this, you can figure out the rest.

If both the top an bottom are equal, you know that 150 degres are taken (75+75) and you know that there can only be 360 degres in total here, so you subtract 150 from 360 and get 210. Now you know that the last two sides together are 210, and since they are equal, you divide it by two to get 105 degrees.
