Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram with AB = 3y – 6, BC = 5x – 8, CD = 2y + 4, and AD = 4x –1. Find x.

1 answer:

4 0

Choice A. Work done below:
4x-1=5x-8 ( Set the opposite sides equal to each other).
4x-5x-1=-8 (Subtract 5x on both sides)
-x-1=-8 (Combine like terms)
-x=-8+1( Add 1 on both sides)
-x=-7 (Now since you have a negative sign on both sides you can cancel them)
x=7 ( Making that as your answer!!)

What is the area of this triangle?

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

ANSWER

56.1 square inches.

EXPLANATION

The area of this triangle can be calculated using the formula,

$Area = \frac{1}{2} ab \sin( C)$

where a=8in.

b=14.2 in.

and C=99° is the included angle.

We plug in these values to obtain,

$Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 14.2 \sin( 99 \degree)$

$Area = 56.1007$

We round to the nearest tenth to get,

56.1 sq. inch

Gracie has 5 quarters 4 nickels and 1 penny in her pocket. She selects a coin at random. What is the probability of selecting a

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5+4+1 = 10. If you have 4 nickels out of 10 coins, it means there is a 4/10 chance of selecting one, but to simplify, 2 is the greatest common factor, so you would divide each number.

4/2 = 2.

10/2 = 5.

The answer is 2/5.
