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.

Factor the expression<br> 20g3 + 24g2 – 15g – 18
abruzzese [7]
First, put parenthesis around the first two numbers and the last two numbers. 
(20g³+24g²) (-15g-18)
Then, take out the greatest common factor of both parenthesis. 
4g²(5g+6)-3(5g+6)
You then separate the numbers outside the parenthesis and the numbers in the parenthesis. 
(5g+6) (4g²-3) 
Then you simplify the second set of numbers. Since the set of numbers can't be simplified, you would leave this problem as it is. I hope this makes sense.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

4.50x+2.25y=5,250  where x denotes number of drinks and y denotes number of pastries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes number of drinks and y denotes number of pastries.

Cost of the average drink = $4.50

Cost of the average pastry = $2.25

Total amount = $5,250

Therefore,

4.50x+2.25y=5,250
