Answer:

Rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trapezoid has vertices at M(-4,0), J(-2,4), K(2,4), and L(4,0).

Use the midpoint formula: (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

To obtain the midpoint of MJ:

A=(\frac{-4+-2}{2},\frac{0+4}{2})=(-3,2)

Similarly, the midpoint of of JK is B=(0,4), the midpoint of  KL is C=(3,2), and the midpoint of LM is D=(0,0).

Now use the slope formula;

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

To find the slope of AB = \frac{4-2}{0--3}=\frac{2}{3}

The slope of BC =\frac{2-4}{3-0} =-\frac{2}{3}

The slope of CD= \frac{0-2}{0-3}=\frac{2}{3}

The slope of AD=\frac{0-2}{0--3}=-\frac{2}{3}

We can see that the slope of the opposites sides are parallel, CD is parallel to AB and AD is parallel to BC.

The product of the slopes of the adjacent sides is not -1.

Hence the shape formed by connecting the midpoint of the isosceles trapezoid is a parallelogram.

Obviously the side lengths are equal since we connected all midpoints.

The parallelogram is a rhombus.

Need asapppppppp!!!!!
algol [13]

Answer:

122 degrees-

Step-by-step explanation:

m\angle {GOC}=m\angle{GOA}+m\angle{AOC}\\=32^\circ + 90^\circ\\=122^\circ

Angle GOA is a vertical angle with angle DOE, so it has the same measure (vertical angles are congruent).

Angle AOC is a right angle because angle COE is a right angle.

Identify the maximum or minimum value and the domain and range of the graph of the function y = 2(x – 3)2 – 4.
NISA [10]
We are given the equation y = 2(x – 3)^2 – 4 and is asked for the domain and range of the following function. In this case, there is no radical sign so the domain includes all real numbers. The range has a minimum value of -4 since the squaring makes the value on the first term positive. Hence the answer is A.
