Time for fractions!!!

I’m going to set a rate of miles per gallon and then cross multiply to get me answer.

41miles/gallon = 617.3/xgallons

617.3 multiplied by 1 and then divided by 41 = about 15.05 gallons

A reasonable estimate then is 15 and a half gallons, because rather than measuring down to the hundredths, the next closest and reasonable measurement is 15 and a half or under.

Comment if you don’t understand and I’ll try to help.

If a parallelogram is a rhombus the diagonals are, similar, Collinear, congruent, or perpendicular
Elena L [17]
Okay the question is simple provided you understand what these 4 terms mean. I imagine that must be the sticking point here.

In the geometric sense, similarity means one thing scales to another. This doesn't make a huge amount of sense with regards to a single length. But if you have a triangle of lengths 3,4,5 and another of lengths 6,8,10, these are similar because it is all in the same proportion. The only difference is one is twice as large in the length sense.

Collinear means on the same line. Again this doesn't make a huge amount of sense in this context, usually we refer to points being collinear, for example (1,1), (2,2) and (3,3) are all on the same line y = x. In this context, it is saying that both diagonals are exactly the same line, which doesn't make sense.

Congruence, in the geometric sense, means the same. A 3,4,5 triangle can only be congruent to another 3,4,5 triangle. This then is saying that the lengths of the two diagonals are the same in a rhombus. This is indeed true, a property that can be proved using elementary vector geometry.

Finally we have perpendicularity, the property in two dimensions whereby two lines have an angle of 90 degrees between them. In fact only a very special rhombus will have this property, a square. Hence this isn't likely to be the answer to the question because it is not true for all rhombi.

The answer is congruent. I hope this helps :)

A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as ed
Mamont248 [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

   2440

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in fixed costs is ...

  37815 -16465 = 21350

The difference in variable costs is ...

  20.50 -11.75 = 8.75 . . . . per book

Then the number of books that must be produced for the difference in variable costs to be equal to the difference in fixed costs is ...

  21350/8.75 = 2440

For production of 2440 books, the costs of the two methods will be the same.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can write expressions for total cost of each production method. When you set them equal and solve for the number of books, you find the math you end up doing is the same as that shown above.

The coordinates of the vertices of A DEF are D(-4,1), E(3. – 1), and F(-1, – 4)
liq [111]

Answer:

ΔDEF is not a right triangle because no two sides are perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the vertices of ΔDEF are given to be D(-4,1), E(3,-1) and F(-1,-4).

Now length of DE is given by \sqrt{(-4-3)^{2}+(1-(-1))^{2}  } =\sqrt{53} units

length of EF is given by \sqrt{(3-(-1))^{2}+(-1-(-4))^{2}  }=\sqrt{25} units

and length of FD is given by \sqrt{(-4-(-1))^{2}+(1-(-4))^{2}  } =\sqrt{34} units.

Therefore, 53 ≠ 25+34

Hence, the length of the sides does not support the Pythagoras theorem.

So, ΔDEF is not a right triangle because no two sides are perpendicular. (Answer)
