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>

What is the value of x
mezya [45]

Answer:

x=9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, we know that 6x + 4x - 5 = 90

Next we want to combine like terms: 10x - 5 = 90.

Now we have to add 5 to 90 in order to get x on its own.  10x = 95

Now solve for x by dividing 95 by 10: x=9.5

Can someone help me with this please - can you also give a step by step not just an answer
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The way I was taught to do it is to change value into a total fraction, then multiple the numerators together, multiply the denominators together, and finally reduce as far as possible.

7/9 x 5 2/5 = 7/9 x 27/5 = 189/45 = 4 9/45 = 4 1/5

1 3/4 x 4 1/6 = 7/4 x 25/6 = 175/24 = 7 7/24

Solve for k <br> J = k^2/4 <br> (There can be multiple answers)
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The first option is the answer (k = +/- 2 square root of J)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you need to leave k by itself, You multiply both sides by 4 which will leave you with 4J=k^2. To get rid of the square(^2), you need to square root both sides which will leave k by it self. So now you have 4J inside the square root = k. The last step is to take the square root of 4 (which is + or -2) and put it outside the square root sign, leaving J inside the square root.
