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.

The measure of the complement of the supplement of angle A is 28°. The measure in degrees of angle A is​
Airida [17]

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Define your variables,

Let X be your Angle

Then 180 - X is your Supplement

and 90 - X is your complement

Now you need to put these into an equation, this particular word probled does not have the equal sign "IS" however, the word measure0-xs, is the same, so that is where your = sign will go.

Your Equation should be...

180-x=2*(90-x)+28

Distribute

180-x=180-2x=28

Subtract 180 From Both Sides and add 2X to Both Sides

X+=+28

Your angle is 28, the Supplement is 152 and your Complement is 62
