Question

PLEASE HELP?
Given that DEFG is a square, find x and y.

A. x = 16, y = 9
B. x = 27, y = 4
C. x = 7, y = 9
D. not enough information

Answer 1

hint : a square has all right angles

Answer 2

?

Answer 3

grab the "y" equations and make them equal, because both legs are equal, then solve for "y"

Answer 4

5y-4=2y+23

Answer 5

get ganeshie8 's hint and make that equal to what a right-angle is :), then solve for "x"

Answer 6

5y-4=90 2y+23=90

Answer 7

like that?

Answer 8

5y-4 = 2y+23

Answer 9

i thought so u would do that lol

Answer 10

hahah.x) so i was wrong?

Answer 11

left length = right length

Answer 12

confused..

Answer 13

"x equation" degrees = "right-angle" degreess

Answer 14

so its like this? 5y-4 = 2y+23

Answer 15

look at your picture, is the left-line equal to the right-line?

Answer 16

ok?

Answer 17

is a square, so all sides are equal, so

Answer 18

the equation are just the length

Answer 19

hmm..?

Answer 20

so, if both lines are equal, so are their equations

Answer 21

D: Your confusing me.

Answer 22

I wish I had 2 chicken to use for comparison but anyway

Answer 23

draw a picture??
