Area = perimeter + 132.  

Let  each side of the city be x miles long, then:-

x^2 = 4x  + 132
x^2 - 4x - 132 = 0

x  =  [-(-4) +/- sqrt((-4)^2 - 4 * 1 *-132)] / 2

x = 13.66, -9.66   We ignore the negative

So the city  has dimension of 13.66 * 13.66

13.7 * 13.7   to nearest 10th

Which congruence theorems can be used to prove ΔEFG ≅ ΔJHG? Select two options.

<h2><u><em>Answer: </em></u></h2><h2><u><em> </em></u></h2>

ASA  and AAS

<h2><u><em>Step-by-step explanation: </em></u></h2>

We do not know if these are right triangles; therefore we cannot use HL to prove congruence.

We do not have 2 or 3 sides marked congruent; therefore we cannot use SSS or SAS to prove congruence.

We are given that EF is parallel to HJ.  This makes EJ a transversal.  This also means that ∠HJG and ∠GEF are alternate interior angles and are therefore congruent.  We also know that ∠EGF and ∠HGJ are vertical angles and are congruent.  This gives us two angles and a non-included side, which is the AAS congruence theorem.

Since EF and HJ are parallel and EJ is a transversal, ∠JHG and ∠EFG are alternate interior angles and are congruent.  Again we have that ∠EGF and ∠HGJ are vertical angles and are congruent; this gives us two angles and an included side, which is the ASA congruence theorem.
