A wire 23 cm long is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is 7 cm longer than the shorter piece. Find the length of the shorter piece of wire

Length of a wire = 23 cm

Given that :

▪︎The wire was cut into two pieces.

▪︎The longer piece of wire is 7 cm longer than the shorter piece of wire.

Let the shorter piece of wire be x.

Then, the longer piece of wire = x+7

An equation that can be derived from these statements :

▪︎x + x + 7 = 23

Let us solve this equation :

Thus, the value of x = 8.

Which means :

Length of the shorter piece of wire = 8 cm

Length of the longer piece of wire = 8 + 7 = 15 cm

Since the length of the two wires add up to form 23 cm(8+15=23), we can conclude that we have found out the correct measures of each wire.

Therefore, the length of the shorter piece of wire = 8 cm

step-by-step explanation:

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

step-by-step explanation:

given   that triangle lno is congruent to triangle lnm.

we have to fill up the blanks in the given question.

according to above order of congruency   kept in mind we can say that

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

ln ≅ ln due to common in both.

hence, by sas congruency,

the side angle side rule   states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
