Which statement BEST describes a parallelogram with coordinates A (-1, 0), B (-4, 5), C (1, 8) and D (4, 3)? A. The diagonals ar

e congruent which means the quadrilateral is a rectangle. B. The diagonals are perpendicular which means the quadrilateral is a rhombus. C. The diagonals are both congruent and perpendicular which means the quadrilateral is a square. D. The diagonals are neither congruent nor perpendicular, which means the quadrilateral is a parallelogram only.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

D.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The representation of this problem is shown below. To find the answer, we need to use the distance formula:

The \ \mathbf{distance} \ d \ between \ the \ \mathbf{points} \ (x_{1},y_{1}) \ and \ (x_{2},y_{2}) \ in \ the \ plane \ is:\\ \\ d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}

  • The first diagonal is formed by the points A and C
  • The second diagonal is formed by the points B and D

So, for the first diagonal:

A(x_{1},y_{1})=A(-1,10) \\ \\ C(x_{2},y_{2})=C(1,8) \\ \\ \\ d_{1}=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2} \\ \\ d_{1}=\sqrt{[1-(-1)]^2+(8-10)^2}=2\sqrt{2}

For the second diagonal:

B(x_{1},y_{1})=B(-4,5) \\ \\ D(x_{2},y_{2})=D(4,3) \\ \\ \\ d_{2}=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2} \\ \\ d_{2}=\sqrt{[4-(-4)]^2+(3-5)^2}=2\sqrt{17}

So the diagonals aren't congruent. Are they perpendicular?

\vec{AC}=(1,8)-(-1,10)=(2,-2) \\ \\ \vec{BD}=(4,3)-(-4,5)=(8,-2)

These two vectors will be perpendicular (hence the diagonals will be perpendicular) if and only if the dot product equals zero, so:

(2,-2).(8,-2)=2(8)+(-2)(-2)=20\neq 0

Thus, the diagonals aren't perpendicular. In conclusion:

<h3>D. The diagonals are neither congruent nor perpendicular, which means the quadrilateral is a parallelogram only.</h3>

Substitution is best to use one one or both equations is already solved for one of the variables. Elimitation can be use if all variables have a coefficient other than 1.

Jean and Sarah are buying tubs of ice cream. 2 scoops of ice cream are twice the price of 1 scoop of ice cream. Jean buys 4 tubs
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of 1 scoop of ice cream. Since the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream are twice the price of 1 scoop of ice cream, therefore the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream = 2x

Jean buys 4 tubs with 2 scoops in them and 2 tubs with 1 scoop each. Therefore the money spent by Jean is:

Money spent by Jean = 4(2x) + 2(x) = 8x + 2x = 10x

Sarah buys 2 tubs of 2 scoops and 4 tubs of 1 scoop. The money spent by Sarah is:

Money spent by Sarah = 2(2x) + 4(x) = 4x + 4x = 8x

Sarah spends 2.50 € less than Jean. Therefore:

Money spent by Sarah = Money spent by Jean - 2.5

8x = 10x - 2.5

2x = 2.5

x = €1.25

Therefore the cost of 1 scoop of ice cream is €1.25, the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream is €2.50.

Money spent by Jean = 10x = 10(1.25) = €12.5

Money spent by Sarah = 8x = 8(1.25) = €10

Give the difference of 8/13​ and 5/13<br><br> A. 3/13<br> B. 8/13<br> C. 5/13
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

3/13

Step-by-step explanation:

8/13 subtract by 5/13. If the denominator is the same, you keep it, don't change it. Just subtract the numerator.

Make sure to simplify, if it is already simplified that will be the answer.
