Answer 1

If the angles are all 90 degrees, the shape ABGE is a square. Knowing that, what is the relationship between the sides of the square? (AB and BG are sides of that square)

Answer 2

Umm, so i Add? o.o

Answer 3

or do i add all the square 90 + 90 like that..

Answer 5

Nope. In a square, all of the side lengths are equal. AB and BG are both sides of a square (You know this because all of the angles of the square are 90 degrees), and we know that AB is 16 in. Therefore, BG must be....?
