A.) If m 1 = 3x - 7, find x.

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 1 and the angle opposite from Angle 1 (the angle that's 68°) are vertical angles.

What are vertical angles, you ask?

According to the Oxford dictionary, vertical angles are each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines.

For example, take the letter X. The letter X has two lines that intersect to form 4 angles. The top and bottom angles are a pair of vertical angles. So are the left and right angles.

Vertical angles are always congruent.

(This is VERY important to know! It will help you solve many types of geometry problems!)

m1 is 3x - 7. Because Angle 1 and the angle that's 68° are vertical angles, that means they are equal to each other.

Therefore: 3x - 7 = 68.

Now, you can solve for x to get x = 25.

Hope this helps!

f is the midpoint of

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
