Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of the square given are P(-4, 0), Q(4, 3), R(7, -5) and, S(-1, -18)

For this diagonal to be right angle the slope of the diagonal must be m1=-1/m2

So let find the slope of diagonal 1

The two points are P and R

P(-4, 0), R(7, -5)

Slope is given as

m1=∆y/∆x

m1=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m1=-5-0/7--4

m1=-5/7+4

m1=-5/11

Slope of the second diagonal

Which is Q and S

Q(4, 3), S(-1, -18)

m2=∆y/∆x

m2=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m2=(-18-3)/(-1-4)

m2=-21/-5

m2=21/5

So, slope of diagonal 1 is not equal to slope two

This shows that the diagonal of the square are not diagonal.

But the diagonal of a square should be perpendicular, this shows that this is not a square, let prove that with distance between two points

Given two points

(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

Distance between the two points is

D=√(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²

For line PQ

P(-4, 0), Q(4, 3)

PQ=√(3-0)²+(4--4)²

PQ=√(3)²+(4+4)²

PQ=√9+8²

PQ=√9+64

PQ=√73

Also let fine RS

R(7, -5) and, S(-1, -18)

RS=√(-18--5)+(-1-7)

RS=√(-18+5)²+(-1-7)²

RS=√(-13)²+(-8)²

RS=√169+64

RS=√233

Since RS is not equal to PQ then this is not a square, a square is suppose to have equal sides

But I suspect one of the vertices is wrong, vertices S it should have been (-1,-8) and not (-1,-18)

So using S(-1,-8)

Let apply this to the slope

Q(4, 3), S(-1, -8)

m2=∆y/∆x

m2=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m2=(-8-3)/(-1-4)

m2=-11/-5

m2=11/5

Now,

Let find the negative reciprocal of m2

Reciprocal of m2 is 5/11

Then negative of it is -5/11

Which is equal to m1

Then, the square diagonal is perpendicular

Vesna [10]

Answer:

h = 430

Step-by-step explanation:

1290 = h/10 + h/5             Make h/5 into something that is something / 10

1290 = h/10 + 2h/(5*2)     Clean up the brackets.

1290 = h/10 + 2h/10         Add the right.

1290 = 3h/10                    Multiply both sides by 10

1290*10 = 10(3h/10)          

12900 = 3h                       Divide both sides by 3

h = 430

25. SKETCHING Draw three noncollinear points J, K, and L.
Romashka [77]

Following are the description of the non-collinear points, and please find the attached file of the graph.

  • When there aren't three or even more locations on the same line, individuals would be non-columnal points.
  • When there is no point in all the locations, and that they are non-collinear points, as either a group.
  • When there is no point in all the points, and that they are non-collinear points, as a group.

scoray [572]

Answer:

Approximately 13 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven data

Amount to be save= $175

Weekly allowance = $14

Hence the number of weeks it will take to save $175 is given as

=175/14

=12.5

Therefore the number of weeks is approximately 13 weeks

A train leaves Boston at 10:20 AM and arrives in Stamford at 1:00 PM. Find the distance between the stations if the average spee
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

average speed   = distance / time

60 =  distance /   (13.20 - 10.40)

13.20 - 10.40  =  2 hours 40 minutes  =  2 2/3  hours

60 = distance / 8/3  = 3 d / 8     (where d = distance)

3d = 480

d = 480/3  = 160 miles
