We have to find the lengths of the diagonals KM and JL:
d ( KM ) = √ (( - a - b )² + ( 0 - c )²) = √ (( a + b )² + c² )
d ( JL ) = √ ( ( a - ( - b ) )² + ( 0 - c )²) = √ ( ( a + b )² + c² )
So the lengths of the diagonals KM and JL are congruent.

Answer:

The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent and the length of KM is  \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+2ab +c^{2}}\ units .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Distance\ formula = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} }

As given

The coordinates of isosceles trapezoid JKLM are J(-b, c), K(b, c), L(a, 0), and M(-a, 0).

The diagram is shown below.

Now find out the length of the diagonal.

As the diagonal is JL .

The coordinates of the JL are J (-b,c) and L (a,o)

Putting the value in the above

JL= \sqrt{(a-(-b))^{2} +(0-c)^{2} }

JL= \sqrt{(a+b)^{2} +(-c)^{2} }

JL= \sqrt{(a+b)^{2} +c^{2}}

(As by using the formula(a + b)² = a² + b² +2ab )

Put this in the above

JL= \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+2ab +c^{2}}\ units

Now find the length of diagonal KM .

As coordinates of K (b,c) and M (-a,0).

KM = \sqrt{(-a-b)^{2} +(0-c)^{2}}

KM = \sqrt{(b+a)^{2} +c^{2}}

(As by using the formula(a + b)² = a² + b² +2ab )

KM= \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+2ab +c^{2}}\ units

As the length of the diagonal JL and KM are equal .

Thus the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent and the length of KM is  \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+2ab +c^{2}}\ units .

55 percent of 48 is the same as 60 percent of what number? I WILL AWARD BRAINLEIST
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

55% of 48 = 26.4

0%-------------------------------------60%------------100%

0                                             26.4

60x1.6~=100

26.4x1.6~=44

...55% of 48 is the same as 60% of 44

Help with this math question please
Step2247 [10]
The base of log is 10. So raising both sides to 10, we get:

10^{0.94} = 10^{ log_{10} x} \\  \\ 
 10^{0.94}=x \\  \\ 
x= 8.71

S, rounding of to nearest hundredth, the value of x in the equation 0.94 = log(x) comes out to be 8.71.

Solve r = 4/3(p-q) for p
ddd [48]

Answer:

q+3/4r=p

Step-by-step explanation:

r=4/3(p-q)

Distribute the 4/3

r=4/3p-4/3q

Add 4/3q to each side

4/3q+r=4/3p

Multiply ALL variables by 3/4 (undoes the 4/3)

q+3/4r=p

If point C is between points A and B, then AC + CB = ___.
mario62 [17]

The correct answer is: AB

Explanation:

There are two ways you can understand this:

1. By drawing:

A ------ C ------B

As you can see the point C is between A and point B, hence AC + CB = AB. One thing to remember here is that point C can be anywhere between the point A and B, in that case, the answer will remain be the same AB. For instance:

A --- C -------------B

Again, AC + CB = AB.

2. By inference:

If the point C is between points A and B, it means that the point C lies on the line AB; if point C were not on the line AB, it will not be between points A and B. Hence, you can infer that AB is a line and point C lies on it and is between points A and B.
