Question

The lengths (in feet) of two sides of a regular quadrilateral are represented by the expressions 8x - 6 and 4x + 22. Find the length of a side of the quadrilateral.

Answer 1

a regular quadrilateral will have 4 equal length sides, right? Isn't that what "regular" means?

Answer 2

or am I wrong on that?

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

if the sides are equal then the equation would look like this: 8x-6 = 4x+22

Answer 5

that's what I was thinking too

Answer 6

then solve for x. Then plug the x value into the one of the expressions for a side

Answer 7

when it is a "regular" shape then it is equal (all sides and angles), if I am not mistaken.

Answer 8

correct
