What is the length of side AB of parallelogram ABCD? units 4g - 8 B q+4
1 answer:
Answer:
8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
» <u>Concepts</u>
Parallelogram Side Theorem states that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, meaning they have the same length.
» <u>Application</u>
In this case, we're asked to apply the theorem to find the value of q and then find the length of AB. Thus, we have to set up the equation 4q - 8 = q + 4.
» <u>Solving</u>
Step 1: Subtract q from both sides.
Step 2: Add 8 to both sides.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
Step 4: Plug in the value of q for side AB.
Therefore, the answer is 8 units.

The cosine of an angle is the x-coordinate of the point where its terminal ray intersects the unit circle. So, we can draw a line at x=-1/2 and see where it intersects the unit circle. That will tell us possible values of θ/2.
We find that vertical line intersects the unit circle at points where the rays make an angle of ±120° with the positive x-axis. If you consider only positive angles, these angles are 120° = 2π/3 radians, or 240° = 4π/3 radians. Since these are values of θ/2, the corresponding values of θ are double these values.
a) The cosine values repeat every 2π, so the general form of the smallest angle will be
... θ = 2(2π/3 + 2kπ) = 4π/3 + 4kπ
b) Similarly, the values repeat for the larger angle every 2π, so the general form of that is
... θ = 2(4π/3 + 2kπ) = 8π/3 + 4kπ
c) Using these expressions with k=0, 1, 2, we get
... θ = {4π/3, 8π/3, 16π/3, 20π/3, 28π/3, 32π/3}
