Answer:

AD = 32

Explanation:

You want the length of side AD of square ABCD, when CD = (x+15) and angle ABC is (6x-12)°.

Value of x

The value of x can be found by recognizing that the measure of any angle in a square is 90°.

(6x -12)° = 90°

6x = 102 . . . . . . . . divide by °, add 12

x = 17

Measure of AD

The sides of a square are congruent, so ...

AD = CD = (x +15) = 17 +15 = 32

The length of AD is 32 units.

ABCD is a square. If LABC = (6x - 12)° and CD= (x + 15). Find the length of AD.-example-1
