1. Consider the parallelogram ABCD drawn in the 1. figure attached.

2. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, so AM=MC and BM=MD


3. In triangle ABC, BM is an altitude (BM perpendicular to AC), but also a median (AM=MC). An altitude is also a median only when the triangle is isosceles, so AB=BC 

similarly, in triangle BCD, CM is both an altitude and a median.Thus, BCD is an isosceles triangle so BC=CD.

4. AB= DC (opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal), similarly BC=DA

5. So ABCD is a quadrilateral, with all 4 sides equal in length. Thus ABCD is a rhombus.

Find the length of the missing side. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The other side is 7.48 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Hypotenuse = 15 yards

One leg = 13 yards

We need to find the length of the other leg. We can use the Pythagoras theorem to find it such that,

H^2=b^2+h^2

Where

h is other leg

Put all the values,

h=\sqrt{H^2-b^2} \\\\h=\sqrt{(15)^2-(13)^2} \\\\h=7.48\ yd

So, the other side is 7.48 yards.

Thirteen more than three times a number is 25.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 3x + 13 = 25

Step 1: Subtract 13 from both sides.

3x + 13 = 25

     <u>- 13   - 13</u>

      3x = 12

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

<u>3x</u>   =  <u>12</u>

3     =   3

 x = 4

Marina correctly simplified the expression (-4a^-2 b^4)/(8a^-6b^-3) assuming that a does not equal 0 and b does not equal 0. Her
Elza [17]
For this case we have the following expression:
 (-4a ^ -2 b ^ 4) / (8a ^ -6b ^ -3)
 We can rewrite the expression using properties of exponents.
 We have then:
 (-4/8) * ((a ^ (- 2 - (- 6))) (b ^ (4 - (- 3))))
 Rewriting we have:
 (-2/4) * ((a ^ (- 2 + 6)) (b ^ (4 + 3)))
 (-1/2) * ((a ^ 4) (b ^ 7))
 -1 / 2a ^ 4b ^ 7
 Answer:
 
The exponent of the variable b in Marina's solution should be 7
