Step-by-step explanation:

h = height of rectangle (should be "length", but ok)

w = width of rectangle

w = h + 97

the diagonal of the rectangle is the Hypotenuse (baseline) of a right-angled triangle with the legs being one height and one width side of the rectangle.

so, we use Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle).

diagonal² = h² + (h + 97)² = h² + h² + 2×97h + 97²

113² = 12769 = 2h² + 194h + 9409

3360 = 2h² + 194h

1680 = h² + 97h = (h + 97/2)² - 9409/4

(completing the square)

6720/4 + 9409/4 = (h + 97/2)²

16129/4 = (h + 97/2)²

127/2 = h + 97/2

30/2 = h = 15

the height is 15.0 in

Parallelogram ABCD is given. Draw line EF so that it goes through the vertex A. Point E lies on the side BC and point F lies on
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The proof is explained step-wise below :

Step-by-step explanation :

For better understanding of the solution see the attached figure :

Given : ABCD is a Parallelogram ⇒ AB ║ DC and AD ║ BC

Now, F lies on the extension of DC. So, AB ║ DF

To Prove : ΔABE is similar to ΔFCE

Proof :

Now, in ΔABE and ΔFCE

∠ABE = ∠FCE ( alternate angles are equal )

∠AEB = ∠FEC ( Vertically opposite angles )

So, by using AA postulate of similarity of triangles

ΔABE is similar to ΔFCE

Hence Proved.

Find an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the indicated slope m.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

y = -5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The only lines that have a slope of 0 are horizontal lines. Horizontal lines are always in the form y = c where c is a constant. Basically, on a horizontal line, no matter what x is, y will always be the constant c. Therefore, the x coordinate of our given point does not matter and we only have to look a the y-coordinate, which is -5.5. Therefore, the equation is y = -5.5.

18. Mabel gave Margo a bag containing red, white, and
Sedbober [7]
So if the bag contains half as many red marbles as blue ones, and there are 8 reds then there are 16 blues. 16 + 8= 24 if you want there to be 1/4 white marbles add 6. 6/30 is 1/4.

So the answer comes out to be 30 marbles in the bag
