Aparcel of land is in the shape of a rectangle with length l(in feet). sixty-five percent of the length is waterfront and 70 feet of the length is not waterfront. write and solve an equation to find the length of the parcel of land.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
