It's good to review the laws of syllogism and detachment.

Law of detachment:
Statement 1: If p then q.
Statement 2: p is true.
By the law of detachment, you can conclude "q is true."

Law of syllogism:
Statement 1: If p then q.
Statement 2: If q then r.
By the law of syllogism, you can conclude "If p then r."

Now look at which of the two cases above you have.
Statement 1: If a quadrilateral is a square, then the quadrilateral is a rectangle.
This is "if p then q."

Statement 2:
<span>If a quadrilateral is a rectangle then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
This is "if q then r."

You have
If p then q.
If q then r.

This is what you need for the law of syllogism.

That means you can conclude "if p then r", which in this specific case is
"</span><span>If a quadrilateral is a square, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram."
</span>
The answer is that it is a valid argument by the law of syllogism.

Help! what is the surface area of the prism? 128in^2, 768in^2, 384in^2, or 480in^2
Nimfa-mama [501]

Option C: 384 \ in^2 is the surface area of the prism

Explanation:

Given figure is a triangular prism.

We need to determine the surface area of the triangular prism.

The formula to find the surface area of the triangular prism is given by

S A=b h+(s 1+s 2+s 3) H

where b is the base of the triangle,

h is the height of the triangle,

s1,s2,s3 are the three sides of the triangle and

H is the height of the prism.

Let us substitute the values b=16 , h=6 , s1=16 , s2=10 , s3=10 and H=8 in the formula, we get,

SA=16(6)+(16+10+10)(8)

Simplifying, we get,

SA=96+(36)(8)

Multiplying the term, we get,

SA=96+288

Adding the terms, we have,

SA=384 \ in^2

Thus, the surface area of the prism is 384 \ in^2

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

What is the value of m in the equation 5m − 7 = 6m + 11?<br><br> A.18<br> B. 1<br> C. −18<br> D.−1
adoni [48]
Hello there ^ _ ^

5m - 7 = 6m + 11
Solve for M
5m - 6m = 11+ 7
-m = 18
Divide both sides by -1
-m/-1 = 18/-1
m = -18

Good luck!

What would the answer be for this equation 7x/20 - 5x/12
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

\frac{1}{15} x

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{7x}{20}  -  \frac{5x}{12}

\frac{3 \times 7x}{3 \times 20}  -  \frac{5 \times 5x}{5 \times 12}

\frac{21x}{60}  -  \frac{25x}{60}

\frac{21x - 25x}{60}  = (21 - 25)x =  - 4x

\frac{ - 4x}{60}  =  -  \frac{ x}{15}

\boxed{\green{=  \frac{1}{15} x}}

suppose there are three consecutive intergers.if two times the first is added to twice the middle, the results is 69 minus the l
belka [17]
3 consecutive means
x, x+1, x+2
OR
x, x-1, x-2

the equation based on givens and first equation is:

2(x) + 2(x+1) = 69 - (x+2)
4x + 2 = 67 - x
5x = 65
x = 13

so the largest would be x+2 or 15
