Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram with AB = 3y – 6, BC = 5x – 8, CD = 2y + 4, and AD = 4x –1. Find x.

1 answer:

6 0

In parallelogram ABCD, opposite sides are congruent, it means
AB = CD
BC = AD
So, 3y – 6 = 2y + 4 ........1
and 5x – 8 = 4x –1...........2
now we can find the value of x and y from expression 1 and 2,
3y – 6 = 2y + 4
3y-2y = 4+6
y = 10
5x – 8 = 4x –1
5x-4x = -1+8
x = 7
Thus, the value of x is 7, option A is the correct.

How many years would it take to make $500 interest on a 12000 investment at 3% per year

padilas [110]

Answer:

$t=1.4\ years$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$I=P(rt)$

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$t=?\\ P=\$12,000\\ I=\$500\\r=3\%=3/100=0.03$

substitute in the formula above

$500=12,000(0.03t)$

solve for t

$500=360t$

$t=500/360$

$t=1.4\ years$

Answers:

AD = 10 units

BD = 12 units

Explanation:

1- getting AD:

In an isosceles triangle, the two non-parallel sides are equal.

It is given that trapezium ABCD is isosceles which means that AD = BC

We are given that:

BC = 10 units

Therefore:

AD = BC = 10 units

2- getting DB:

In an isosceles trapezium, the diagonals are congruent

Since the given trapezium is isosceles and AC and BD are its diagonals, therefore:

AC = BD

We are given that:

AC = 12 units

Therefore:

BD = AC = 12 units

Hope this helps :)
