Answer:

BC is 8 units length

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information is missing in the question:

AB= 4x

CD= 2y

AD= y + 4

BC= 2y

Given that ABCD is a parallelogram, then the opposite sides are congruent. That means:

AB = CD -> 4x = 2y      (eq. 1)

BC = AD -> 2y = y + 4  (eq. 2)

Solving equation 2:

2y = y + 4  

2y - y = 4  

y = 4

Solving equation 1:

4x = 2*4

x = 8/4

x = 2

This means that

BC = 2*4 = 8 units length

CD = 2*4 = 8 units length

AB= 4*2 =  8 units length

AD= 4 + 4  = 8 units length

What is the value of x?
tiny-mole [99]
Very simple:
As the sides that subtend the angle x are of equal lengths and are joined to form a triangle, we know the only other angle (the blank one) is going to also be 56° and since angles in a triangle always add up to 180°, we just have to do:
180 - (2 × 56) = 68°

The weight of a bull clad is 388 kilograms. If it’s weight increases at a rate of 1 2/5 kilograms per day how long it will take
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

It will take  <u><em>80 days</em></u>  for the bull calf to reach a weight of 500 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The weight of a bull calf is 388 kilograms.

Now, to find the weight of bull calf of how long it will take to reach a weight of 500 kilograms, if it’s weight increases at a rate of 1 2/5 kilograms per day.

Required weight which to be increased = 500 - 388 = 112 kilograms.

Rate of weight increase = 1\frac{2}{5}=\frac{7}{5}

                                        = 1.4\ kilograms.

Thus, the time required = \frac{required\ weight}{rate\ of\ weight}

                                        = \frac{112}{1.4}

                                        = 80.

<em>The time required   =    80 days</em>.

Therefore, it will take 80 days for the bull calf to reach a weight of 500 kilograms.
