The complete question is:
quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle (see attached image)
If BE = 6y + 2 and CE = 4y + 6, find the value of y

Answer:
y = 2

Explanation:
We are given that the quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle. This means that it has the following properties:
1- Its diagonals are equal. This means that: AC = BD
2- Diagonals bisect eqcah other. This means that: BE = ED and AE = EC

From the above, we can infer that:
BE = CE
This means that:
6y + 2 = 4y + 6
6y - 4y = 6 - 2
2y = 4
y = 4/2
y = 2

Hope this helps :)

Find the surface area.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

solution given:

For triangle

side1=9ft

side2=10ft

base[b]=11ft

height[h]=7.7ft

and for rectangle

length [l]=3ft

wide [w]=9ft

Now

total surface area=lateral surface area +2curved surface area

=perimeter of triangle×length +2area of triangle

=(9+10+11)×3+2×1/2×2(½×b*h)

=90+11×7.7

=174.7

=175ft²is a required answer.

Frank makes four bows to decorate a gift basket. Each bow uses7/8 yards of ribbon. The ribbon comes in spool of 3 yards, 5 yards

Alinara [238K]

7/8 yrds of ribbon per bow
if you need 4 bows
7/8 x 4 = 28/8 = 3 1/2 yards of ribbon needed

Help plz I need help ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, each square on the grid is 10 inches in length and width

To find the dimension of the diagonal lengths, treat them like a hypotenuse so we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c ^2

a and b are our length and width and c is the hypotenuse.

Make each diagonal length part of a triangle. There will then be 4 triangles to work with.

Triangle 1 (Top left)

Triangle 2 (Bottom left)

Triangle 3 (Top Right)

Triangle 4 (Bottom Right)

A right triangle made with the top left diagonal dimension will have a vertical dimension of 30 (10+10+10) and a horizontal dimension of 40 (10+10+10+10)

To find c or the hypotenuse, plug these into the Pythagorean theorem.

30^2 + 40^2 = c ^2

c^2 = 900 + 1600 = 2500

c = sqrt(2500) = 50

You will see that triangles 2, 3, and 4 have the same vertical and horizontal dimensions giving them the same value.

Now combine the dimensions

diagonal = 50+50+50+50 = 200

horizontal = 90+90 = 180

diagonal + horizontal = 380
