The sum of two numbers is 65 one is 4 times as large as the others.what are the numbers?

bixtya [17]

<h3><em>Hey! </em></h3>

<u>let the numbers be n and m</u>

<u>n+m=65</u>

<u>n=4m</u>

<em>So when we put our work in:</em>

<u>4m+m=65</u>

<u>5m=65</u>

<u>m=13</u>

<u>n=52</u>

So therefore your two numbers are 52 and 13!

In the figure shown, ABCD is a parallelogram, AC = 16, and BD = 30 inches determine BC.

Flauer [41]

If it looks like this:

A -------------------- B
| |
| |
| |
C -------------------- D

Then BC is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 16 and 30. Using the Pythagorean Theorem you can solve for the length of the hypotenuse:

$h^2 = 16^2 + 30^$
$h= \sqrt{256+900}$
$h =34$

What is the first step in constructing a circumscribed circle around triangle XYZ? Construct a line parallel to segment YZ. Cons

meriva

Answer:

Construct the perpendicular bisector of segment XY

Step-by-step explanation:

I am pretty sure this is the answer. I assume you r taking flvs just like me. I think this is the answer because to construct a circumscribed circle u will need to draw a perpendicular bisector to the sides of the polygon. Which o think is the first step.
