Jason is trying to prove that this quadrilateral is a rhombus. Using the slope formula, he finds that opposite sides of the poly

gon are parallel. Since all of the sides appear to be congruent, Jason concludes that ABCD is a rhombus. Is Jason's reasoning correct? Why or why not

Answer:

No, it is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proving the opposite sides are parallel is the correct first step.  If the quadrilateral is not a parallelogram, it cannot be a rhombus.

After knowing the quadrilateral is a parallelogram, we must know whether the sides are congruent.  To do this, we must use the distance formula to find the length of each side.

Opposite sides being parallel proves that hte figure is a parallelogram.  The sides only appear to be equal so his conclusion is not valid. He would need to show that  2 adjacent sides of the parallelogram are equal ( using the distance formula)  to prove that it is a rhombus.

Three angles of a hexagon are congruent. The other three angles are also congruent, each with a measure twice that of the first
Serga [27]
The sum of the interior angles of a hexagon is 720 degrees. If 3 angles are congruent, each with measure x degrees, and the other 3 angles are also congruent to each other, each with measure 2x degrees, then the total sum of all 6 angles would be 3x + 3(2x) = 9x. If this is equal to 720, then x = 80 degrees, while 2x = 160 degrees.
Therefore, there are 3 80-degree angles and 3 160-degree angles.

Two cars leave a rest stop at the same time and proceed to travel down the highway in the same direction one travels at an avera
Alika [10]

The two cars will be 5.5 miles apart after 5.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Speed of first car = 57 mph

Time = 5.5 hours

Distance covered by first car = Speed * Time

Distance covered by first car = 57*5.5 = 313.5 miles

Speed of other car = 58 mph

Distance covered by other car = 58*5.5 = 319 miles

Difference = 319 - 313.5

Difference = 5.5 miles

The two cars will be 5.5 miles apart after 5.5 hours.
