We will use the formula for the slope:
m = ( y2- y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )
For PQ : m = ( 0 - 0 ) / ( a + c - 0 ) = 0
For RS : m = ( b - b ) / ( a - ( 2a + c )) = 0
Both slopes are m = 0, so PQ and RS are parallel to x - axis and at the same time parallel to each other ( PQ | | RS ). One pair of opposite sides is parallel.
8.975 is the correct answer
Answer:
a = 14.73
Step-by-step explanation:
This ratio can also be written like this:

Then you can cross multiply to get
11a = 6 x 27
11a = 162
Divide both sides by 11
11a / 11 = 162 / 11
a = 14.73
Step-by-step explanation:
i)
2(x+2)=7
2x+4=7
2x=7-4
2x=3
x=3/2
ii)3x + y =8 , y=x
3x + x = 8
4x = 8
x = 2
