Always, never. Since you are multiplying the same number that you are dividing 1 by, they would essentially cancel out and leave you with 1. If a and b are both negative, then because a negative multiplied by another negative is always positive, it would never be equal to -1

never and never

 2 negatives multiplied by each other = a positive number

 lets look at the first one:

 let a = -2

 you then have -2*(1/-2) = -2 * (-.5) = 1 ( positive 1 )

2nd eq, multiply a negative by a negative:

a = -3, b=-4, -3*-4 = 12 ( positive 12)

 both equations give positive numbers for answers

A rectangular plot of land is 100 feet long and 50 feet wide. how long is the walkway along the diagonal? round to the nearest f
Savatey [412]

Answer:

c. 112 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the diagonal of a rectangle creates a right-angled triangle with a length and a width of the rectangle (the diagonal is the Hypotenuse or baseline).

and this means we can use Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the baseline opposite of the 90° angle).

diagonal² = 100² + 50² = 10000 + 2500 = 12500

diagonal = sqrt(12500) = 111.8033989... ft ≈ 112 ft

A diver in the Olympics dives off a platform 15 m above the water’s surface and descends to a depth of 5 m below the surface. Ho
tia_tia [17]

Let the water surface be 0.

He starts at 15 and gets to the water surface of 0 so he travels 15 meters.

He then goes 5 meters below the surface.

15 + 5 = 20 total meters.

Find the length of each missing side and each missing angle in the isosceles triangle below.
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

x = 45

y = 45

z = 11.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The triangle is a right triangle. That means that it has 1 right angle.

It is also isosceles which means that the two legs that are not the hypotenuse are equal.

Result: z and 11.1 are equal z = 11.1

More remark

If the triangle is isosceles, that means that the angles that are not right angles must also be equal.

90 + x + y = 180

but x = y

90 + 2x = 180                  Subtract 90

2x = 180 - 90                   Divide by 2

2x/2 = 90/2

x = 45

If two angles are right angles, then they are adjacent?
Vlad [161]

Two angles are supplementary to each other if they are congruent. One angle in a linear pair is a right angle if the other angle is the right angle. When one of the angles is a right angle, the two angles become congruent and neighboring.
