Answer:
Yes, the given parallelogram is a rectangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertices of parallelogram are J(-5,0), K(1,4), L(3,1) and M(-3,-3).
The slope formula is
The slopes of opposites sides are same it means they are parallel to each other.
The product of slopes of two consecutive sides is
Since the product of slopes of two consecutive sides is -1, therefore the consecutive sides are perpendicular to each other.
Yes, the given parallelogram is a rectangle.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hypotenuse² =base² + altitude²
(3x + 4)² = (2x + 1)² + (3x)²
{Use (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²}
(3x)² + 2*3x+4 + 4² = (2x)² + 2*2x*1 + 1² + 9x²
9x² + 24x + 16 = 4x² + 4x + 1 + 9x²
9x² + 24x + 16 = 13x² + 4x + 1
0 = 13x² + 4x + 1 - 9x² - 24x - 16
13x² - 9x² + 4x - 24x +1 - 16 = 0
4x² - 20x - 15 = 0
a = 4 ; b =-20 ; c = -15
D = b² - 4ac = (-20)² - 4*4*(-15) = 400 + 240 = 640
√D = √640 = 25.30
x = 5 .66 ; x = -0.66
Ignore x = -0.66 as length of a side cannot be negative
Answer : x = 5.66
