What does perpendicular mean? Well, in elementary geometry it mean 2 lines that intersect at a right angle. (90°).
So for Part one. all you need to do is draw a straight line down from the point X. Name the end point of that line M.
Now you will connect the line M and Z.
Thats it! I hope this helped!! :)
Answer: The person's speed is 8 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve we want to convert the 
and 
proportionally for the number of miles per hour. We know that multiplying a fraction by its reciprocal will equal 1. So let's do that for the value of the hour.
×
Since we multiplied that to the number of hours we must also do that for the number of miles.
×
Answer:
2.30/7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4.30-2=2:30
2.5-10=7.5
Answer: The length of BC is 7
Step-by-step explanation: Assuming the lengths of the opposite sides of the quadrilateral are congruent, then
AB=DC and
AD=BC
Inputting the values of AB, DC and AD as given in the question:
x + 8 = 3x ...(1)
x + 3=? ...(2)
We have to solve for the value of x to get the actual lengths and thus ascertain BD.
From equation (1):
8 = 3x - x
8 = 2x
8/2 = x
Therefore, x = 4.
If x = 4 then equation(2) would be
4 + 3= 7.
Hence, the actual lengths of the quadrilateral are:
AB = 4 + 8. DC = 3(4)
=12. =12.
AD = 4 + 3. AD = BC
= 7. Therefore, BC = 7.
Hence, it is confirmed that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram since both the opposite sides are proven to be congruent.
