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)

(3^n*3^2)^4=3^28<br> Enter the value of n for the equation<br> N= ?
maksim [4K]
Hello! And thank you for your question!

Use Pemdas to get

3^(n+2)*4=3^28

Rewrite the equation:

3^4(n+2) = 3^28

Cancel the base of 3:

4(n + 2) = 28

Then divide 4 on both sides:

2 + n = 28/4

Simplify 28/4:

2 + n = 7

Subtract 2 on both sides:

n = 7 - 2

Finally simplify 7 - 2:

n = 5

Final Answer:

n = 5

Find the distance between the line 1.2x − 0.5y + 1.1=0 and the origin.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: d = 0.85 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Line equation:  1.2 x − 0.5 y + 1.1 = 0        A = 1.2; B = -0.5; C = 1.1

Point (0, 0)                                                  x = 0; y = 0

Formula

d = | Ax + By + C | / √(A² + B²)

Process

d = |(1.2)(0) + (-0.5)(0) + 1.1 | / √ (1.2)² + (0.5)²

d = | 1.1 | / √ 1.44 + 0.25

d = 1.1 / √ 1.69

d = 1.1 / 1.3

d = 0.85 units
