A mountain climber starts a climb at an elevation of 453 feet above sea level. At his first rest stop he has climbed 162 feet, a

nd by his second rest stop he has climbed another 207 feet. It's getting late in the day, so the climber starts his way down. If the climber descends 285 feet, how much does he need to ascend or descend to return to the original starting point? A) ascend 84 feet B) ascend 78 feet C) descend 84 feet D) descend 78 feet

They started at 453, then climbed 162, so now they are at:

453 + 162 = 615 feet.

They then cllmb another 207 feet to get to:

615 + 207 = 822 feet.

They then descend ( climb down) 285 feet.

822 - 285 = 537 feet.

Now they need to get back tot he original 453,

so they have to descend:

537 - 453 = 84 more feet.

The answer is C.

A quadrilateral has vertices A(3, 5), B(2, 0), C(7, 0), and D(8, 5). Which statement about the quadrilateral is true? A. ABCD is
Dima020 [189]

Hey There!!

The answer to this is: A quadrilateral has vertices A(3, 5), B(2, 0), C(7, 0), and D(8, 5). Which statement about the quadrilateral is true?" Line BC is parallel to line AD because their slopes is equal i.e. (0 - 0) / (7 - 2) = (5 - 5) / (8 - 3) which gives 0 / 5 = 0 / 5 giving that 0 = 0. We check whether line AB is parallel to line CD. Slope of line AB is given by (0 - 5) / (2 - 3) = -5 / -1 = 5. Slope of line CD is given by (5 - 0) / (8 - 7) = 5 / 1 = 5 We have been able to prove that the opposite sides of the quadrilateral are parallel which means that the quadrilateral is not a trapezoid. Next we check whether the length of the sides are equal. Length of line AB is given by sqrt[(0 - 5)^2 + (2 - 3)^2] = sqrt[(-5)^2 + (-1)^2] = sqrt(25 + 1) = sqrt(26) Length of line BC is given by sqrt[(0 - 0)^2 + (7 - 2)^2] = sqrt[0^2 + 5^2] = sqrt(25) = 5 Length of line CD is given by sqrt[(5 - 0)^2 + (8 - 7)^2] = sqrt[5^2 + 1^2] = sqrt(25 + 1) = sqrt(26) Length of line DA is given by sqrt[(5 - 5)^2 + (8 - 3)^2] = sqrt[0^2 + 5^2] = sqrt(25) = 5 Thus, the length of the sides of the quadrilateral are not equal but opposite sides are equal which means that the quadrilateral is not a rhombus. Finally, we check whether adjacent lines are perpendicular. Recall the for perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is equal to -1. Slope of line AB = 5 while slope of line BC = 0. The product of their slopes = 5 x 0 = 0 which is not -1, thus the adjacent sides of the quadrilateral are not perpendicular which means that the quadrilateral is not a rectangle. Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram with non-perpendicular adjacent sides. Thus, For (option A).

Solve the inequality<br> -2≥4p+6+4
Alchen [17]

Hi there


-2 ≥ 4p + 6 + 4

-2 ≥ 4p + 10

4p +10 ≤ -2

Now subtract 10 form both sides

4p + 10 - 10 ≤ -2 - 10

4p ≤ -12

Divide by 4

4p/4 ≤ -12/4

p ≤ -3


I hope that's help:)
