Answer: The true statements are,

QP ≅ QR

PM ≅ MR

∠QPS ≅ ∠QRS

Step-by-step explanation:

A kite, is a quadrilateral which has two pairs of congruent sides.

Also, In kite the major diagonal bisects the minor diagonal perpendicularly.

Here, PQRS is a kite, in which,

Sides PQ and PS are congruent  to sides QR and RS respectively,

That is, QP ≅ QR and PS ≅ RS

Since, QS ≅ QS ( Reflexive )

By SSS postulate of congruence,

Δ PQS ≅ Δ RQS

By CPCTC,

∠ QPR ≅ ∠ QPS

Also, QS is the major diagonal and PR is the minor diagonal,

⇒ QS bisects PR

⇒ PM ≅ MR ( Where M is the intersection point of these diagonals. )

⇒ First second and fifth options are correct.

A kite is a quadrilateral in which two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are congruent (“disjoint pairs” means that one side can’t be used in both pairs).

Then:

  • Two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are congruent by definition - QP≅QR and QR is not congruent to RS (one side can’t be used in both pairs);
  • One diagonal (segment QS, the main diagonal) is the perpendicular bisector of the other diagonal (segment PR, the cross diagonal), so PM≅MR;
  • The opposite angles at the endpoints of the cross diagonal are congruent, thus ∠QPS≅∠QRS.
  • ∠PQR is not congruent to ∠PSR, because they are not angles at the endpoints of the cross diagonal.

Answer: correct options are A, B and E.

Gabbys age is two times mikhails age.the sum of their ages is 75. What is mikhails age
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Mikhail's age is 25 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an equation: Say Mikhail is x, so Gabby would be 2*x=2x

If the sum of their ages equals 75, then x+2x=75, and x=2x=3x, so 3x=75.

75/3=25

Which graph represents the function y = 2x – 4? A coordinate plane with a line passing through (negative 4, 0) and (0, 2). A coo
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The third option: "A coordinate plane with a line passing through (0, negative 4) and (2, 0)."

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation defined by the function: y = 2x - 4 to check the (x, y) values they give you. If they both render true mathematical statements, those are indeed points on the plane that belong to the given line.

For the third case; the pairs (0,-4) and (2,0), both satisfy the equation of the line that is given.

For (0,-4):  y = 2x - 4 becomes:

(-4)=2(0)-4\\-4=0-4\\-4=-4 which is a TRUE statement

For (2,0):  y = 2x - 4 becomes:

(0)=2(2)-4\\0=4-4\\0=0 which is also a TRUE statement.

This option is the only one that verifies both given points as truly being part of the given line.
