Answer:
EG = 16 and FH =22
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
so 2a = 3b+2
and 2a+3 = 6b-1
We know have a system of equations to solve
2a = 3b+2
2a+3 = 6b-1
Subtract 3 from each side
2a+3-3 = 6b-1-3
2a = 6b -4
Now we can set the 2 equations equal ( 2a = 3b+2 and 2a = 6b -4)
3b+2 = 6b-4
Subtract 3b from each side
3b-3b+2 = 6b-3b-4
2 = 3b-4
Add 4 to each side
2+4 = 3b-4+4
6 = 3b
Divide by 3
6/3 = 3b/3
2 =b
We want to find a
2a = 3b+2
Substitute in b=2
2a = 3(2) + 2
2a = 6+2
2a =8
Divide by 2
2a/2 =8/2
a = 4
Now that we know a and b
EG = 2a + 3b+2
= 2(4) + 3(2)+2
= 8+6+2
= 16
FH = 2a+3 + 6b-1
= 2(4) +3 +6(2)-1
= 8+3+12-1
= 23-1
= 22
Length of side of new square is 17 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Let the length of the side of the old square be x. Then length of side of new square = x + 3 and Perimeter of new square = 40 + 2x
Perimeter of a square = 4 × side
⇒ 4(x + 3) = 40 + 2x
⇒ 4x + 12 = 40 + 2x
⇒ 2x = 28
⇒ x = 14 inches
- Step 2: Find length of side of the new square
⇒ x + 3 = 17 inches

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines will have slopes that are the multiplicative additive inverse of each other: a line with slope 3/4 is perpendicular to a line with slope -4/3, for example. You need a line that is perpendicular to a line with slope -2 (reading that from the -2 in the -2x portion of the given equation, which is written in slope-intercept form), so your new line must have slope +1/2.
With the slope and a point, we can come up with an equation using this formula:
y - y-coordinate = slope (x - x-coordinate)
So we have y - (-2) = 1/2 (x - 4).
Simplify the equation: y + 2 = 1/2 x - 2
Subtract 2 from both sides: y + 2 - 2 = 1/2 x - 2 - 2
Simplify: y = 1/2 x - 4.
