Answer:

B. A quadrilateral with 2 pairs of equal length

Step-by-step explanation:

analyzing the options:

  • A. A polygon is a very general definition (polygon is a figure with 3 or more sides) so it does not specifically describe a rhombus.
  • B. This option is much more specific to a rhombus than the other two options because it mentions that it is a quadrilateral so it reduces the generality of calling it a polygon, and it also mentions that there are 2 pairs of equal sides which is true for the rhombus (the top and bottom sides are equal, and the sides are also equal). So this option is correct.
  • C. It is a little more specific than option A because it mentions that you must have 4 sides, but it is not as specific for the rhombus as option B

Answer:

B.a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of equal length

Step-by-step explanation:

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with 4 equal sides in length. A quadrilateral is a closed figure or shape with 4 sides . Other quadrilaterals are parallelograms, square and rectangle .

Opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel and opposite angles are equal. The diagonals meet at the center to form a right angle. The best description of a rhombus among the option is that it is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of equal length.  

Note polygon is too broad to be used to describe a rhombus .Moreover rhombus is not a regular polygon since all the angles are not equal.

The figures are similar. The area of one figure is given. Find the area of the other figure to the nearest whole number.
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:  Option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to calculate the ratio of the area. This is:

ratio=(\frac{64}{28})^2\\\\ratio=\frac{256}{49}

You know that the area of the smaller trapezoid is 771 m², then you can set up the following proportion, where "x" is the area of the larger trapezoid. Then you have:

\frac{256}{49}=\frac{x}{771}

Now you must solve for "x". Therefore, you get that the area of the larger trapezoid is:

 x=(771)(\frac{256}{49})\\\\x=4,028m^2

In a group of 48 children there are three times as many boys as girls. how many girls are there
Leno4ka [110]
If x=girls,
then we have 3x boys.

We know that all children are boys+girls, so x+3x, which is 4x and 4x is 48, so one x is 12.

So there are 12 girls and 36 boys.

Andre45 [30]
So you have 10 gallons of gas
You use 1.625 or 1.63 an hour

You can either do 10/1.625 = 6 hours and 15 mins
You can either do 10/1.63 = 6 hours and 13 mins
