Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

0.005 = 5 * 10^?

0.005 = 5 * 0.001

Thus, to find what 10 should be raised to, we should find which exponent of 10 gives us 0.001

We can do this by just testing a few numbers from 10^1 and down:

10^1 = 10\\10^0 = 1\\10^{-1} = 0.1\\10^{-2} = 0.01\\10^{-3} = 0.001

As we can see, 10^{-3}  = 0.001, thus the exponent in our equation is -3

A shorthand of this is counting the number of zeroes, 10^-1 has one zero, 10^-2 has two zeroes, and 10^-3 has three zeroes.

Since we were looking for 0.001, which has 3 zeroes, we can see that the correct exponent should be -3.

The vertices of a parallelogram are A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3), and D(x4, y4). Which of the following must be true if paral
Iteru [2.4K]

The answer is really none of the above, because all of these have divisions by difference in x, and there are perfectly fine rectangles where those will mean dividing by zero.

To do the problem the way they want us to, we note segments with the same slope are parallel (or collinear); segments with slopes which multiply to -1 are perpendicular.

Let's figure out what each choice is trying to tell us by translating it into parallel and perpendicular. Remember A is point 1, ...

A. ((y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)= (y_3-y_2)/(x_3-x_2)) and ((y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)×(y_3-y_2)/(x_3-x_2))=-1

translated, that's CD║BC and CD⊥BC - contradictory; second half right

B. (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) and ((y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)×(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1))=-1

CD ║ AB and CD ⊥ AB - only the parallelogram half is right

C. (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) and (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)×(y_3-y_2)/(x_3-x_2)=-1

CD║AB and CD⊥BC - that's TRUE

D. (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)= (y_3-y_1)/(x_3-x_1) and (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)×(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=-1

CD║AC and CD⊥AB - nope

Answer: C

The way I'd get the proper expression is with the dot product.

A parallelogram is a rectangle when adjacent sides are perpendicular. It only takes one right angle to make them all right.

Two sides are perpendicular when the dot product of their direction vectors is zero. All the answers have y_4 - y_3 so one side is CD. The other side must be BC or AD; AD would give y_4 - y_1 terms which don't appear among the answer, so let's go with BC.

The direction vectors are

D-C = (x_4 - x_3, y_4 - y_3)

C-B = (x_3 - x_2, y_3 - y_2)

For perpendicularity we need a zero dot product:

0 = (D-C)\cdot(C-B) = (x_4 - x_3)(x_3 - x_2) + (y_4 - y_3)(y_3 - y_2)

- (x_4 - x_3)(x_3 - x_2) = (y_4 - y_3)(y_3 - y_2)

That's the correct expression, given it's a parallelogram, to demonstrate it's a rectangle. The divisions make it iffy.

Please help me i have no clue what the answer is :?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

1. Yes

2. They could change the 60° angle into a different one.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Two triangles are the same if they share two side lengths with the same angle between them.

2. Since the triangles are equal if they share two side lengths with the same angle between them, if they changed the angle between 3 and 5, it'd no longer be the same triangle.
