Which choice is true for a square?

liq [111]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides equal in length. A square is a quadrilateral with all sides equal in length and all interior angles right angles. Thus a rhombus is not a square unless the angles are all right angles. ... A square however is a rhombus since all four of its sides are of the same length.

A square is a quadrilateral with all four angles right angles and all four sides of the same length. So a square is a special kind of rectangle, it is one where all the sides have the same length. Thus every square is a rectangle because it is a quadrilateral with all four angles right angles.

Hannah and Anthony are siblings who have ages that are consecutive odd integers. The sum of their ages is 92. Which equations co

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

h = Hannah's age

h - 2 = Anthony's age

Hannah is 47, Anthony is 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Using one variable and an expression with the same variable, you can find the sum of the siblings ages:

h = Hannah's age

h - 2 = Anthony's age

h + (h - 2) = 92

Combine like terms: 2h - 2 = 92

Add '2' to both sides: 2h - 2 + 2 = 92 + 2 or 2h = 94

Divide by 2: 2h/2 = 94/2

Solve for h: h = 47 years old (Hannah)

h - 2 = 45 years old (Anthony)

A total of 135 seats, 118 front handlebars (that steer the bike) and 269 wheels how many bicycles, tandem bicycles, and tricycle

lesya692 [45]

Answer: There are 35 bicycles, 33 tricycles and 50 tandem bicycles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of seats = 135

Number of front handle bars = 118

Number of wheels = 269

Since there are 118 front handle bars.

And we know that each bicycle has 1 front handle bars.

So, total number of bicycles = 118

Now, each bicycle has 2 wheels

So, Number of wheels should be

$118\times 2\\\\=236\ wheels$

But here we have 269 wheels , it means it has tricycle which has 3 wheels.

So, Remaining wheels would be

$269-236\\\\=33\ wheels$

It means 33 bicycles has 3 wheels .

So, Number of tricycles = 33

So, Number of bicycles should be now

$118-33=85$

Each bicycle has 1 seat

So, number of seats should be 85

But we have 135 seats,

So, remaining seats should be of tandem bicycle.

$135-85=50$

So, Number of bicycles now becomes

85-50 = 35

Hence, there are 35 bicycles, 33 tricycles and 50 tandem bicycles.
