The perimeter of a rectangular lot of land is 448 A. This includes an easement of x feet of uniform width Inside the lot on which no building can be done . If the buildable area is 140 ft by 64 determine the width of the easement.

Given: ae ≅ ce ; de ≅ be prove: abcd is a parallelogram. we have that ab || dc. by a similar argument used to prove that △aeb ≅ △ced, we can show that △ ≅ △ceb by. so, ∠cad ≅ ∠ by cpctc. therefore, ad || bc by the converse of the theorem. since both pair of opposite sides are parallel, quadrilateral abcd is a parallelogram.
