Answer:
x = 24, PR = 404, QS = 404
Step-by-step explanation:
PR and QS are both diagonals of the rectangle. The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other and are of equal length. Thus, we can say:
PR = QS
18x - 28 = x + 380
Solving for x, we get:
18x - x = 380 + 28
17x = 408
x = 408/17
x = 24
Thus, PR = 18(24) - 28 = 404 and QS = 24 + 380 = 404
Third choice is right.
Answer:
6x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
First thing to do is distribute 1/4 into the parenthesis. So 1/4 times 8x and 16. Which will give you 2x and 4. Then add like terms which will be 2x + 4x which is 6x. Then you have the 4 left over so your new equation is 6x+4.

Answer:
DE = 13.4 cm (to 1 decimal place)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: ABCD is a square
BC = AC = 12 cm (opposite sides of a square are congruent)
E is midpoint of BC (given)
BE = EC = 12/2 = 6 cm
CD = AB = 12 cm (opposite sides of a square are congruent)
angle ECD is a right angle (interior angles of a square are 90 deg.)
Consider right triangle ECD
DE = sqrt(EC^2+CD^2) ............. pythagorean theorem
= sqrt(6^2+12^2)
= sqrt ( 36+144 )
= sqrt (180)
= 2 sqrt(45)
= 13.416 (to three dec. places)
Answer:
a = 16/3 or 5 1/3 or 5.33...
Step-by-step explanation:
to find a you must first make all of the denominators the same
you must find 4 6 and 2s CGF
and that is 12
so multiply a/4 by 3/3 and get 3a/12
then multiply 5/6 by 2/2 and get 10/12
and lastly multiply 1/2 by 6/6 and get 6/12
at this point you can set the equation up like this
3a/12 - 10/12 = 6/12
but then you can multiply everything by 12
3a - 10 = 6
and then solve
add 10 to both sides
3a = 16
then divide 3 on each side
a = 16/3 or 5 1/3 or 5.33...
