If RS = 24, UT = x + 6, RU = y + 3, and ST = 18, find the values of x and y.
A. x = 30, y = 21
B. x = 30, y = 15
C. x = 18, y = 15
D. x = 1, y = 7
Very interesting but as far as I know these are your apparel dimensions. I do not read minds and have no idea what you are looking at. Is it a triangle maybe?
There is not a diagram provided on the worksheet....
X+6=24
Y+3+18
Answer is c, X=18, and Y=15
basically in a rectangle, the width = width and length = length.
To find the values of x and y, we can use the given information and set up two equations.
First, we know that RS = 24 and ST = 18. Since RU = RS + UT and UT = ST, we can substitute these values into the equation to get:
RU = 24 + ST
Therefore, RU = 24 + 18 = 42.
According to the problem given, RU = y + 3. So, we have:
42 = y + 3
Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get:
y = 42 - 3
y = 39.
Next, we know that UT = x + 6. Since UT = ST, we can substitute these values into the equation to get:
UT = 18
Therefore, x + 6 = 18.
Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get:
x = 18 - 6
x = 12.
So the values of x and y are x = 12 and y = 39.
None of the given answer choices (A, B, C, D) match these values, therefore the correct answer is not among the given choices.
