Apentagon has 3 congruent sides and 2 other congruent sides. the perimeter of the pentagon is 36 centimeters. the three long congruent sides are 2 centimeters longer than the two shorter congruent sides. let x = length of a short side let y = length of a long side the system of equations can be used to represent the situation. y = x + 2 2x + 3y = 36 what is the length of one of the shorter congruent sides? a. 2 centimeters b. 6 centimeters c. 8 centimeters d. 17 centimeters

B6 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x + 2

2x + 3y = 36

substitute y = x+2  into the second equation

2x + 3 (x+2) = 36

distribute

2x + 3x+ 3*2 = 36

combine like terms

5x+6 = 36

subtract 6 from each side

5x +6-6 = 36 -6

5x = 30

divide by 5

5x/5 = 30/5

x = 6

the short side is x =6

the longer side is

y= x+2

y = 6+2

y =8

answer:

your answer is: c. 196 7/8 in^3.
