Explanation:

that is a college question ?

oh my ...

to clarify :

perpendicular means intersecting or touching at a right angle (90°).

bisector means it is a line that cuts the other line in half.

1.

because of the bisector this means DF = FC = DC/2.

so, since FC = 17, so is DF (=y) = 17.

2.

for the same reason

2x - 3 = x + 8

x - 3 = 8

x = 11

the angle must be 90°.

so,

5y = 90

y = 18

3.

for the same reason

10 = 4a

a = 10/4 = 2.5

4.

for the given reasons of 1-3, this figure is a kite. that means the left side is a mirror image of the right side. so, all the lengths on one side are equation to the lengths of the other side.

x - 11 = 19

x = 30

5.

for the same reasons

3y + 5 = 26

3y = 21

y = 7

6.

the perimeter of EDP is then

EP + DP + ED = 19 + 19 + (9 + 9) = 56

because ED = EC + CD

and for the above reasons EC = CD = 9

so, ED = 9 + 9 = 18

7.

the perimeter of EDQ is then

EQ + DQ + ED = 26 + 26 + 18 = 70

8.

for the same reasons as above

x = 90°

9.

remember, the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

180 = 90 + 55 + y

y = 180 - 90 - 55 = 35°

10.

180 = y + M + z = 35 + (55+71) + z = 161 + z

z = 180 - 161 = 19°
