Using an indirect proof:

Assume that the figure is a trapezoid.
All trapezoids are quadrilaterals.
All quadrilaterals' interior angles add up to 360° because any n-gon's interior angles add up to 180(n-2)°.
We are given that the trapezoid has three right angles.
All right angles are 90°, thus these right angles have a total measure of 270°.
We can conclude fourth angle must be 90°.
If it has four right angles, it is a rectangle.
Rectangles have two sets of parallel sides.
However, trapezoids have exactly one set of parallel sides.
Alas, our figure cannot be a trapezoid.

Not possible trapezoid is a quadrilateral with 4 angles and 4 sides which means the interior measure =360 if 3 angles are right the 4th angle must be a right angle a trapezoid does not have 4 right angles,it only has one pair of parallel sides hope this helps

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

here ....x = 2 and y = 3

= xy - y + x \times x

= 2 \times 3 - 3 + 2 + 2 \times 2

= 6 - 3 + 2 + 4

= 12 - 3

= 9

When the car moves forward by 180cm , each wheel does one full turn . What is the diameter of the wheels to the nearest cm?
Sav [38]
Since 180cm is one full turn you divide it by pie which is 3.14

=180/3.14

=180/3 (Rounded down)

=60

The density of ice is approximately 0.92 g/cm3 . If a block of ice has a volume of 2300 cm3, what is its mass?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The mass of the ice block is 2116 grams ⇒ a

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of density is p=\frac{m}{V} , where m is the mass and V is the volume

To find the mass from this formula multiply both sides by V,

then m = p.V

∵ The density of ice is approximately 0.92 g/cm³

∴ p = 0.92

- That means the mass of 1 cm³ is 0.92 g

∵ The volume of an ice block is 2300 cm³

∴ V = 2300

- Use the formula of the mass

∵ m = p.V

- Substitute the values of p and V in it

∴ m = (0.92)(2300)

∴ m = 2116 grams

The mass of the ice block is 2116 grams

Select the best method of finding an accurate solution to a system of linear equations
Flura [38]

The best method for solving the system of linear equation is by the use of algebraic methods.

The system of linear equations can be solved by using the method of simultaneous equations. Here we are given two equations and two unknown variables. We can solve the same by eliminating one of the variables and then either adding or subtracting, find the value of the other variable. Once we know the value of one variable, then we can substitute its value in any one given equation and find the second variable. This method is said to be accurate and does not involve any error.

Hence answer is : USE ALGEBRAIC METHODS

Two solutions of different concentrations of acid are mixed creating 40 mL of a solution that is 32% acid. One-quarter of the so
Ymorist [56]

The 40 ml solution is said to be created from 10 ml and 30 ml solutions. In mixture problems, we equate the final mixture to its compositions given the concentration for each.  A 10 ml has 20% acid and the 30 ml has C (unknown). We can write the total liters for 10 ml as 10(.2) and 30(c) for the 30 ml. when two solutions were added, it should be equal to 40ml with 32% acid. Therefore, it should be written as 10(.2) + 30(c) = 40(.32). The answer is A
