Pentagon DEFGH is translated 4 units to the right to create pentagon UVXYZ. DE is 5cm long. What is the length of UV?

1 answer:

5 0

If a shape is translated (has it's vertex' coordinates moved/changed), then it retains its original values but just has different vertex coordinates.

Thus since DE is equal to UV, then,

DE = UV; substitution:
5=5

3.5 11.5 28 33 please help

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the ratio between the triangles. To do this, divide any side of the big triangle by corresponding side in the small triangle. I chose 35. So, 35/10 = 3.5. 3.5 is the ratio between the triangles. Multiply 3.5 by 8 to get 28, the length of the missing side. :)

10. Polygon WXYZ has vertices W(-1.5, 1.5),

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Polygon WXYZ has vertices W(-1.5, 1.5), X(6, 1.5), Y(6, -4.5), and Z(-1.5, -4.5).

Find the slopes of all sides:

$WX:\ \dfrac{1.5-1.5}{6-(-1.5)}=\dfrac{0}{7.5}=0$ - horizontal line

$XY:\ \dfrac{-4.5-1.5}{6-6}=\dfrac{-6}{0}$ - slope undefined, so the line is vertical

$YZ:\ \dfrac{-4.5-(-4.5)}{-1.5-6}=\dfrac{0}{-7.5}=0$ - horizontal line

$ZW:\ \dfrac{1.5-(-4.5)}{-1.5-(-1.5)}=\dfrac{6}{0}$ - slope undefined, so the line is vertical

Vertical and horizontal lines are perpendicular, so all angles W, X, Y and Z are right angles. Hence, quadrilateral WXYZ is a rectangle

Malcolm took 18 minutes to do 15 math problems. Diedra took 17 minutes to do 16 math problems. Which student did more problems p

boyakko [2]

The student that did more maths problems per minute is Diedra.

In order to determine which student did more maths problems per minute, the rate of each student has to be determined. Rate is the total questions solved divided by the time.

Rate = total questions / total time

Malcolm = 15 / 18 = 0.833 problems per minute

Diedra = 16/ 17 = 0.941 problems per minute
