BC is the length of AD because they are parallel. Have a nice day
Masja [62]3 years ago
5 0

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

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4 1/2 minutes = 4.5 minutes

2 / 4.5 = 0.44 laps per minute

OR

4.5 / 2 = 2.25 minutes per lap

not sure which one ur looking for...but both are unit rates

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 14. If the
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The length of each leg = 5 units

The length of the base =  4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Isosceles Triangle is a triangle with any two sides of it in equal measure.

Perimeter of a triangle =  SUM OF ALL SIDES

Now, Perimeter of the triangle = 14

Let length of each leg = a

So, the length of the other leg is also a.

And, the base of the triangle is a -1

Now, as perimeter is 14.

⇒a   + a + (a -1) = 14

or, 3 a =  14 + 1

⇒ 3 a = 15, or  a = 15/3 = 5

Hence, the length of each leg = 5

And the length of the base = (a -1) = (5-1) = 4 units

Is it possible to contruct a 4x3 matrix b and a 3x4 matrix c such that bc is invertible?
Lady bird [3.3K]
Matrix B has dimensions 4x3 
Matrix C has dimensions 3x4

Write out those dimensions like so: 4x3   3x4
The inner '3's match up so B*C is possible. The dimensions of B*C is 4x4 as these are the outer dimensions when lining up 4x3  3x4

Since B*C is a square matrix, it is possible that an inverse could exist. Keep in mind that this isn't a guarantee as the determinant of B*C could be zero (which would lead to BC being non-invertible). Though of course we'd need more info.
