Question 1007606: The opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, and its perimeter is equal to 188 inches. Two of its sides are equal to x + 3 inches and 2x +4 inches. Find the lengths of the sides in inches. Answer by tiffany222(56) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2(x+3) + 2(2x+4) = 188
2x + 6 + 4x + 8 = 188
6x + 14 = 188
6x = 174

x + 3 = 29 + 3 = 32
2x + 4 = 2(29) +4 = 62
Final Answer:
Sides = 32 inches and 62 inches
