Question

problem 21: (first taught in lesson 56) in square wxyz, find p and q. after you enter your answer press go. p = q =

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of a square's angles

In a square, each angle is \(90^{\circ}\). So, \(4p - 2=90\) and \(5q = 90\).

Step2: Solve for \(p\)

For \(4p - 2=90\), add \(2\) to both sides: \(4p=90 + 2=92\). Then divide by \(4\): \(p=\frac{92}{4}=23\).

Step3: Solve for \(q\)

For \(5q = 90\), divide both sides by \(5\): \(q=\frac{90}{5}=18\).

Answer:

\(p = 23\), \(q = 18\)
