Answer:

The quadrilateral is not a rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If a quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle

then

Opposite sides are congruent and parallel and adjacent sides are perpendicular

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have

A(-5,5), B(1,8), C(4,2), and D(-2,-2)

Plot the figure to better understand the problem

see the attached figure

Find the slope of the four sides and then compare

step 1

Find slope AB

A(-5,5), B(1,8)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{8-5}{1+5}

m=\frac{3}{6}

m_A_B=\frac{1}{2}

step 2

Find slope BC

B(1,8), C(4,2)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{2-8}{4-1}

m=\frac{-6}{3}

m_B_C=-2

step 3

Find slope CD

C(4,2), and D(-2,-2)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{-2-2}{-2-4}

m=\frac{-4}{-6}

m_C_D=\frac{2}{3}

step 4

Find slope AD

A(-5,5), D(-2,-2)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{-2-5}{-2+5}

m=\frac{-7}{3}

m_A_D=-\frac{7}{3}

step 5

Verify if the opposites are parallel

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

The opposite sides are

AB and CD

BC and AD

we have

m_A_B=\frac{1}{2}

m_C_D=\frac{2}{3}

so

m_A_B \neq m_C_D

It is not necessary to continue verifying, because two of the opposite sides are not parallel

therefore

The quadrilateral is not a rectangle

Find the 6th term in the sequence:100,60,36
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:100,60,36

hello :

the common ratio in the sequence:100,60,36  ( geometric sequence )

is : r = 60/36 = 36/100 = 0.6    the first term is : A1= 100

the n-ieme term is : An= A1× r ^(n-1)

An = 100× (0.6) ^(n-1)

the 6th term is : A6 = 100×(0.6)^5

a square field has a side 150 m long .There is a road 5 m wide all around the park outside it .Find the cost of constructing the
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Cost to construct the road = 775000 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Square field has a side = 150 m

Area of the field = (Side)²

                           = (150)²

                           = 22500 m²

Length of the park with road around the field = 150 + 2×(width of the road)

                                                                            = 150 + (2×5)

                                                                            = 160 m

Similarly, width of the park with road around the field = 160 m

Area of the park with road = (Side)²

                                            = (160)²

                                            = 25600 m²

Area of road = Area of the park with road - Area of the park

                     = 25600 - 22500

                     = 3100 m²

Since, cost of constructing the road = 250 rupees per square meter

Cost to construct the road with the given area = 250 × 3100

                                                                              = 775000 rupees
