Your answer is
"WXYZ can be a parallelogram with one pair of sides measuring 15mm and the other pair measuring 9mm"

To find this, you first have to solve for x. Assuming WXYZ is a parallelogram, then the side (x + 8) must equal 15, which means we can subtract 8 and get x as 7.

Now we substitute 7 into the other side's, (7 + 2) = 9mm, and (7 × 2) - 5 = 14 - 5 = 9mm.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to prove that WXYZ is a parallelogram, consider Opposite sides of the given quadrilateral be equal, thus

x+8=15

⇒x=7

Also, 2x-5=x+2

⇒x=7

Therefore, One side of the quadrilateral is: x+8=7+8=15 and the other side is=2x-5=2(7)-5=14-5=9.

Therefore, Opposite sides of the given quadrilateral are equal, hence

WXYZ can be a parallelogram with one pair of sides measuring 15 mm and the other pair measuring 9 mm.

Answer:

sqrt(29)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points, we use the formula

d = sqrt( ( x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 )

d= sqrt( ( 8-6) ^2 + ( 2-7)^2)

= sqrt ( 2^2 + (-5)^2)

= sqrt 4+25)

= sqrt (29)

What is the radius of a circle whose equation is x2 y2 8x – 6y 21 = 0?

andrew11 [14]

we know that

the standard form of the equation of the circle is

$(x-h)^{2} +(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$

where

(h,k) is the center of the circle

r is the radius of the circle

In this problem we have

$x^{2} +y^{2} +8x-6y+21=0$

<u>Convert to standard form</u>

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$(x^{2}+8x) +(y^{2}-6y)=-21$

Complete the square twice. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$(x^{2}+8x+16) +(y^{2}-6y+9)=-21+16+9$

$(x^{2}+8x+16) +(y^{2}-6y+9)=4$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+4)^{2} +(y-3)^{2}=4$

$(x+4)^{2} +(y-3)^{2}=2^{2}$

the center of the circle is $(-4,3)$

the radius of the circle is $2\ units$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the radius of the circle is $2\ units$

To the nearest minute, at what time will the hour hand and minute hand be in the same position between 8 and 9 o'clock?

alekssr [168]

Answer:

8:40

Step-by-step explanation:

For the hour hand and the minute hand to be at the same position between 8 and 9 o'clock, then the two of the hands must be at either the 8 hour mark or the 9 hour mark.

If the hour and the minute hand is at point 9, then the time would be 9:45 which is not between 8 and 9 o'clock. But, if the the hour and the minute hand is at point 8, then the time would be 8:40 which is between 8 and 9 o'clock.
