The coordinates of the vertex W are (5 , -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the parallelogram, the diagonal bisect each other

To find a missing vertex in a parallelogram do that:

  • Find the mid-point of a diagonal whose endpoints are given
  • Use this mid-point to find the missing vertex
  • The mid point rule is (\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})

∵ WXYZ is a parallelogram

∴ Its diagonals are WY and XZ

∵ The diagonal bisect each other

- That mean they have the same mid-point

∴ They intersect each other at their mid-point

∵ x = (-2 , -3) and z = (7 , 7)

∴ x_{1} = -2 and x_{2} = 7

∴ y_{1} = -3 and y_{2} = 7

- Substitute them in the rule of the mid point to find the

   mid-point of XZ

∴ M_{XZ}=(\frac{-2+7}{2},\frac{-3+7}{2})=(2.5 , 2)

∴ The mid-point of diagonals WY and XZ is (2.5 , 2)

Let us use it to find the coordinates of vertex W

∵ W = (x , y) and Y = (0 , 5)

∴ x_{1} = x and x_{2} = 0

∴ y_{1} = y and y_{2} = 5

- Equate 2.5 by the rule of the x-coordinate of the mid-point

∵ 2.5=\frac{x+0}{2}

- Multiply both sides by 2

∴ 5 = x + 0

∴ 5 = x

∴ The x-coordinate of point W is 5

- Equate 2 by the rule of the y-coordinate of the mid-point

∵ 2=\frac{y+5}{2}

- Multiply both sides by 2

∴ 4 = y + 5

- Subtract 5 from both sides

∴ -1 = y

∴ The y-coordinate of point W is -1

The coordinates of the vertex W are (5 , -1)

8. The logo for a company is a regular hexagon inscribed inside a circle. The logo will
fgiga [73]

Divide the hexagon into 6 equal streak triangles which would have side length equal to the radius of the circle.


the area of an equal lateral triangle = sqrt(3)/4 x radius^2


the area of the hexagon would be 6 x sqrt(3)/4 x radius^2


Area = 6 x sqrt(3)/4 x 8^2 = 166.2768 square feet


rounded to the nearest whole foot = 166 square feet.

Elmwood Elementary School has 576 students and 24 teachers Savory Elementary School has 638 students and 29 teachers what school
Montano1993 [528]

Divide total number of students by number of teachers:


Elmwood: 576 students / 24 teachers = 24 students per teacher.

Savory: 638 students / 29 teachers = 22 students per teacher.


Savory has the lowest students per teacher rate.
