I believe this is right..
10/16= x/100
x=62.5%
100%- 62.5%= 37.5%
Check the picture below.
now, we know that the slanted legs are congruent, since it's an isosceles trapezoid, we also know that the bases are the parallel sides, so, the "altitude" or distance from those bases are the same length, for each of those triangles in the picture.
now, the bases are parallel, that means the altitude segment is perpendicular to the base, the longest side at the bottom, so, we end up with a right-triangle that has a Hypotenuse and a Leg, equal to the other triangle's.
thus, by the HL theorem for right triangles, both of those triangles are congruent, and if the triangles are congruent, all their sides are also, including the ones on the base.
Answer:
x=−4/5 or x=−3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Factor left side of equation.
(5x+4)(x+3)=0
Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.
5x+4=0 or x+3=0
x=−4/5 or x=−3
Answer:
The second statement is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw the corresponding parabola and use it to verify all statements.
Answer: The only correct answer is 8/18. See below
Step-by-step explanation:
All you need to do is divide the denominator of 9 into the denominator of each fraction, and multiply the numerator by the same factor like this:
4/9 = ?/36; 36/9 = 4; 4x4 =16, so we know that 4/9=16/36 NOT 20/36
4/9 = ?/18; 18/9 =2; 2x4 =8, so we know that 5/9 = 8/18 so YES.
4/9 = ?/45; 45/9=5; 5x4 = 20, so we know that 5/9 = 20/45 NOT 24/45
5/9 = ?/27; 27/9 =3; 3x5 = 15, so we know that 5/9 = 15/27 NOT 12/27
