Answer:

48 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

PTRS is parallelogram with the base length= 8cm and the height as same as the height of ∆SUR.

the height = 2×24/8 = 6cm

so, the area of PTRS= 8×6 = 48 cm²

Fifteen times the square of a non-zero number is equal to 20 times number.What is the number? Its not 4/3
e-lub [12.9K]
The number is (2√3) / 3

To find the missing number, convert what it says in words to an equation:
15 {x}^{2}  = 20x
Divide both sides by 15:
{x}^{2}  =  \frac{20}{15}   \\  \\  {x}^{2}  =  \frac{4}{3}
Take the square root:
x =  \sqrt{ \frac{4}{3} }  \\  \\ x =  \frac{2}{ \sqrt{3} }  \\  \\ x =  \frac{2 \sqrt{3} }{3}

given the line AB with A(1,4) and B(-3,-1) is parallel to line CD with C(8,3) and D(x,-7), solve for the missing value of x.​
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the missing value by solving for the other points (graphically or algebraically). We would first find the line of Points A and B in order to find the parallel line that would help us find the coordinate point with the x-value.

1) Graph points A, B, and C.

2) Calculate the slope of points A and B by using the slope formula:

y2 - y1/x2 - x1.  

-1 - 4/-3 - 1....The slope is 5/4.

3) Write 4 = 5/4(x) + b

**We get 4 from the point A (1, 4)

Plug 1 into x and solve for 4 in order to get your y-intercept.

4 = 5/4(1) + b

4 = 5/4 +b

**If 1 = 4/4, then 4 = 16/4.

16/4 = 5/4 + b

11/4 = b

2.75 = b

4) So our y-intercept is 2.75. We now have an equation of  y = 5/4x + 2.75 (graph it along with points A and B to see that it intersect both points.

5) Now we will use that line to find a line parallel to it. We know that if two lines have the same slope then they are parallel, so for the equation of the parallel line, we write: y = 5/4x + b so far.

6) We will find the y-intercept and use that to find the x-value of point D.

First we plug in the x and y values of point C to find the y-intercept

y = 5/4x + b --> 3 = 5/4(8) + b --> 3 = 40/4 + b --> 3 = 10 + b --> -7 = b

7) Now we have the equation of the line that is parallel to line AB: y = 5/4x -7

To find the missing value of x, plug the y-value of point D into the equation and solve for x.

--> -7 = 5/4x -7

--> x = 0

**You can double check this by graphing each point and both equations for the lines.

Find the values of a and b. The diagram is not to scale. Its not c
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Option A is correct : . a=115, b=71

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the attached file.

AB is parallel to CD.

∠1+ a° = 180° (since sum of  linear pairs is 180°) ---(A)

And ∠1 = ∠2  because they are corresponding angles.

∠1 = ∠2 = 65°

Putting this value in (A)

⇒65°+ a° = 180°

⇒a° = 180°-65°

⇒a° = 115°

∠3+ 109° = 180°(since sum of  linear pairs is 180°) ---(B)

⇒∠3 = 180°-109°

⇒∠3 = 71°

Now, ∠3 = b° (because they are corresponding angles and corresponding angles are equal)

⇒∠3=  b°= 71°

Thus Option A is correct : . a=115, b=71
