Find TU and TW in rectangle TUVW.

TU = VW

find "s" with an equation

s - 3 = 10s - 39

36 = 9s

s = 36 : 9

s = 4

find TU

s - 3 =

4 - 3 =

Answer:

TW = 4 units || TU = 1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the width's are similar, we can find s, by:

s - 3 = 10s - 39

s - 10s = -39 + 3

-9s = -36

s = -36 ÷ -9

s = 4

If s is 4, its the length value which is TW = 4 units

Then width, TU = s - 3

= 4 - 3

= 1

TU = 1 units
