The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of q for the equation 4q − 2q − 4 = −1 + 21: Step 1: 4q − 2q − 4 = −1 + 21
Step 2: 4q − 2q − 4 = 20
Step 3: 2q − 4 = 20

Which of these is most likely the next step? (1 point)

A. 2q = 5
B. 2q = 8
C. 2q = 16
D. 2q = 24

step-by-step explanation:

it is impossible.

look at the picture.

1.

ef : ab = 2 : 3

gf : cb = 2 : 3

gh : cd = 2 : 3

he : da = 2 : 3

2.

∠a ≅ ∠e

∠b ≅ ∠f

∠c ≅ ∠g

∠d ≅ ∠h

3.

use pythagorean theorem:

the length of the abcd trapezoid sides:

|ab| = 3 cm

|bc| = 10 cm

|cd| = 3(3) cm = 9 cm

|da| = 8 cm

the perimeter of abcd = 3 + 10 + 9 + 8 = 30 cm

the ratio of perimeters of the tarapezoids is equal 2 : 3.

substitute:

      cross multiply

      divide both sides by 3
