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

Given the geometric sequence where a1 = 3 and r = √2 find a9
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

a_9=48

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

sequence is geometric

so, we can use nth term formula

a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1}

we have

a_1=3

r=\sqrt{2}

we have to find a9

so, we can plug n=9

we get

a_9=3(\sqrt{2})^{9-1}

a_9=2^4\cdot \:3

a_9=48

Will give brainliest for *BEST* answer!
Nataliya [291]
Use substitution and substitute y into the other equation. One of the equations already gives you y in terms of x, so use that and substitute it into the other equation. y = 3x - 4

Plug into the other equation: -3y = -9x + 12 
-3(3x-4) = -9x + 12
-9x + 12 = -9x + 12
This is an identity. So that means that any value of x makes this equation true. So B.

From 1960 to 1980 , the consumer price index (cpi) increased from 29.6 to 82.4. If a frozen chicken pie cost $0.28 in 1960 and t
mojhsa [17]

CPI in 1960 = 29.6

CPI in 1980 = 82.4

Growth (%) in CPI = \frac{\text{CPI in 1980 - CPI in 1960}}{\text{CPI in 1960}} × 100

⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = \frac{82.4-29.6}{29.6} × 100

⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = 178.3783.. %

⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = 178.4%

Now, we know that price of frozen chicken pie in 1960 = $0.28

Also, we know that over 1960 to 1980, frozen chicken pie price grew at the same rate as CPI

Hence, Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = Price of Chicken Pie in 1960 × (1 + Growth in CPI)

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 × (1 + 178.4%)

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + (0.28 × 178.4%)

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + 0.49952

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + 0.50

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = $0.78

Hence, price of chicken pie in 1980 would be ~$0.78
