Find x and y
Show all the work

x=27°

y=4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x:

The sum of all the angles in a quadrilateral is 360°. In a rhombus (you know it's a rhombus because it's a quatrilateral where all the sides are congruent), opposite angles are congruent. Because you're given that the measure of ∠T is 127°, you also know that m∠V=127°. You also know that m∠U=m∠S=(2x-1)°.

Using this information, set up an equation.

127+127+(2x-1)+(2x-1)=360

You can just divide both sides by 2 to get:

127+(2x-1)=180

Then, just solve for x.

127+2x-1=180

2x+126=180

2x=54

x=27°

To find y:

All the sides are given to be congruent. That's what the little marks on the sides mean, and that's how we knew it was a rhombus earlier.

So SV=VU=UT=TS

SV=6y-5

VU=3y+7

Since SV=VU:

6y-5=3y+7

Solve for y.

3y=12

y=4

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
