Choose the expression that would equal the number of hours in the following question.

1 answer:

5 0

<span>B. 285/302. This is the correct answer because it is the only choice which is roughly the same ratio as 47.5/50.5 which is the ratio needed to determine how long it would take to go 47 1/2 miles in a car that averages 50 1/2 miles per hour. The mathematical equation which represents the problem is: 50.5/1 = 47.5/A (A = hours) which is the same as 50.5 A = 47.5 which means A = 47.5/50.5 which means A = .94 hours. 285/302 also equals .94.</span>

Which of these systems of linear equations has no solution?

Alika [10]

Answer:

A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A has no solution because since the slopes are the same, setting both equations equal to each other will cancel out the slopes and result in 8=16, meaning no solution will make both sides equal to each other.

B does have a solution because of different slopes

C does have a solution because of different slopes

D does have a solution because of different slopes

2. Given a quadrilateral with vertices (−1, 3), (1, 5), (5, 1), and (3,−1):

zlopas [31]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In every rectangle, the two diagonals have the same length. If a quadrilateral's diagonals have the same length, that doesn't mean it has to be a rectangle, but if a parallelogram's diagonals have the same length, then it's definitely a rectangle.

So first of all, let's prove this is a parallelogram. The basic definition of a parallelogram is that it is a quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

So let's name the vertices as:

$A(-1,3) \\ \\ B(1,5) \\ \\ C(5,1) \\ \\ D(3,-1)$

First pair of opposite sides:

<u>Slope:</u>

$\text{For AB}: \\ \\ m=\frac{5-3}{1-(-1)}=1 \\ \\ \\ \text{For CD}: \\ \\ m=\frac{1-(-1)}{5-3}=1 \\ \\ \\ \text{So AB and CD are parallel}$

Second pair of opposite sides:

<u>Slope:</u>

$\text{For BC}: \\ \\ m=\frac{1-5}{5-1}=-1 \\ \\ \\ \text{For AD}: \\ \\ m=\frac{-1-3}{3-(-1)}=-1 \\ \\ \\ \text{So BC and AD are parallel}$

So in fact this is a parallelogram. The other thing we need to prove is that the diagonals measure the same. Using distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^2+(x_{2}-x_{1})^2} \\ \\ \\ Diagonal \ BD: \\ \\ d=\sqrt{(5-(-1))^2+(1-3)^2}=2\sqrt{10} \\ \\ \\ Diagonal \ AC: \\ \\ d=\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(-5-1)^2}=2\sqrt{10} \\ \\ \\$
