Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's call the length and width L and W respectively.
L=2W+8
2W+2L=124
We plug our value of L into the second equation and solve for W.
2W+2(2W+8)=124
We undo the parentheses with the distributive property.
2W+4W+16=124
Combine like terms.
6W+16=124
Subtract 16 from both sides.
6W=108
Divide both sides by 6.
W=18
We plug this W value into the first equation to solve for L.
L=2(18)+8
L=36+8
L=44
So, the length is 44 feet and the width is 18 feet.
Have a wonderful day! :D
Answer:
trapezoid
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle a and b are supplementary angles which means that when added they equal 180.
so we must set our equation equal to 180.
8x+74+2x+56=180
which simplifies to 10x+130=180
then subtract 130 from both sides.
10x=50
x=5
So we plug in 5 to find the measure of b.
2(5)+56=b
10+56=b
66=b
the measure of angle b is 66 degrees
