Answer:

See answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

RS ⊥ bisector of AB                                   Given

AS ≅ BS                                                       Definition of ⊥ bisector

∠RSB is a right angle                                  Given

∠RSB = 90°                                                  Definition of right angle

∠RSB & ∠RSA form a linear pair                Definition of linear pair  

∠RSB + ∠RSA = 180                                     A linear pair = 180°

   90° +  ∠RSA = 180°                                   Substitution

     ∠RSA =   90                                            Subtraction

   ∠RSB = ∠RSA                                            Substitution            

    ∠RSB ≅ ∠RSA                                         If equal then congruent

   RS ≅   RS                                                  Reflexive

  Δ RAS ≅ ΔRBS                                           SAS

      RA ≅ RB                                                 CPCTC    (corresponding parts of

                                                                                     congruent triangles  ≅

The area of a rectangular concrete patio is 70 square meters. the perimeter is 34 meters. what are the dimensions of the patio?
Finger [1]
A = L * W
A = 70

70 = L * W

P = 2(L + W)
P = 34

34 = 2(L + W)
34/2 = L + W
17 = L + W
17 - W = L

70 = L * W
L = 17 - W

70 = W(17 - W)
70 = -W^2 + 17W
W^2 - 17W + 70 = 0
(W - 10)(W - 7) = 0

W - 10 = 0        L = 17 - 10
W = 10              L = 7

W - 7 = 0          L = 17 - 7
W = 7               L = 10

so either the width is 10 meters and the length is 7 meters OR the width is 7 meters and the length is 10 meters

The shortest side of an isosceles triangle is 26 cm less than twice as long as the other sides. The perimeter of the triangle is
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

22cm,24cm,24cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call one of the other sides x

the shortest side = 2x-26

in an isosceles, 2 sides are equal (x in this case)

so we now have sides of x,x and 2x-26

form an eqution from this.

4x-26=70

4x=96

x=24

24 x 2 = 48 - 26 = 22

thus, the shortest side is 22cm and the other sides are both 24cm
