Length=3w
width=w
Length-width=8
3w-w=8
2w/2=8/2
w=4
length=3×4=12

What are the coordinates of the intersection of the diagonals of parallelogram LMNO, with vertices L(0,-3), M(-2,1), N(1,5), O(3

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

ANSWER

$\boxed {( \frac{1}{2} , 1)}$

EXPLANATION

The given parallelogram has vertices,

L(0,-3), M(-2,1), N(1,5), O(3,1).

The diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other.

From the diagram, we can see that, the diagonals have coordinates L(0,-3),N(1,5)

and

M(-2,1),O(3,1).

The midpoint of any of the diagonals will give us the coordinates of intersection of the diagonals.

Recall the midpoint formula,

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_2+y_1}{2})$

Using L(0,-3),N(1,5) gives,

$(\frac{0+1}{2}, \frac{ - 3+5}{2})$

$(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{ 2}{2})$

$(\frac{1}{2}, 1)$

Or we could have also used,M(-2,1),O(3,1) to get,

$(\frac{-2+3}{2}, \frac{ 1+1}{2})$

$(\frac{ 1}{2}, \frac{ 2}{2})$

$(\frac{ 1}{2}, 1)$

The correct answer is C

Answer:

8) 10 m 9) 26 in 10) 51 m 11) 50 ft 12) 19.4 cm 13) 177.9 m 14) 40 15) 12 16) 14.7 17) 12.1

Step-by-step explanation:

You may solve the problems by using the Pythagorean Theorem which states that c^2 = a^2 + b^2, or in other words, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the legs squared.

Hope this helps! :-)

when you sign up for video games are you get 400 points you earn 50 more points for each hour that you play how many hours do yo

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

This is a linear equation
y=mx+b
y=50x+400 (when x equals the number of hours played)

1000=50x+400
*first, isolate the variable (x)
-50x=-1000+400
*divide by -50 to get x by itself
x=20+8

The answer is x=28

I need help with this, please. Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is

$S_{n}$ = $\frac{n}{2}$ [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]

where a₁ is the initial value and d the common difference

Given

$S_{n}$ = $\frac{n}{2}$ [ 10 + (n - 1)3 ]

Then by comparison

2a₁ = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a₁ = 4 ← initial value

and d = 3 ← common difference

Thus

$S_{8}$ = $\frac{8}{2}$ [ 10 + (7 × 3) ]

= 4(10 + 21)

= 4 × 31

= 124
