Answer:
I believe your answer would be A.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. ∠A and ∠B are complementary
2. ∠A + ∠B = 90° and ∠B + ∠C = 90°
3. ∠A = 90° - ∠B
4. ∠C = 90° - ∠B
5. ∠A ≅ ∠C
Answer:
length=53 in
width= 23 in
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we know that each corner has now a square of 6 in long, so the heigth of the box will be of this size (as you can see in the picture attached). Then, the length and the width of the box would be the same as the piece, but with 12 in less. Therefore the equations to solve the problem are:

We factorize the 6 and we get:

Finally we solve for x, and we get the initial dimensions of the piece of metal:


Answer:
perimeter = 20.9 units
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter
perimeter = distance around two dimensional shape
= addition of all sides lengths
<h2>perimeter of the figure</h2><h2>= AB+BC+CD+AD</h2>
distance formula:

<h3>1) distance of AB</h3>
A(-3,0) B(2,4)
x1 = -3 x2 = 2
y1 = 0 y2 = 4
(substitute the values into the distance formula)


AB = 6.4 units
<h3>2) distance of BC</h3>
B(2,4) C(3,1)
x1 = 2 x2 = 3
y1 = 4 y2 = 1



BC = 3.2 units
<h3>3) distance of CD</h3>
C(3,1) D(-4,-3)
x1 = 3 x2 = -4
y1 = 1 y2 = -3



CD = 8.1 units
<h3>4) distance of AD</h3>
A(-3,0) D(-4,-3)
x1 = -3 x2 = -4
y1 = 0 y2 = -3



AD = 3.2 units
<h2>perimeter of figure</h2>
= AB+BC+CD+AD
= 6.4 + 3.2 + 8.1 + 3.2
= 20.9 units
3h - 27 = 36
3h = 63
h = 21
