Even though most rhombuses are not rectangles(their angles are not all 90)
Some are. The only one that is, is a square. It is a rhombus, and it is a rectangle.

For a rhombus to be a rectangle, a quadrilateral must have 4 equal sizes. However, some rhombuses, particularly squares have perpendicular sides and they are also rectangle.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Therefore, a rhombus can be a rectangle only if all the angles are 90 degree and also a rectangle can be Rhombus only if the sides of the rectangle have equal length.  

A definition of a square also fits for a rectangle and Rhombus, because all the angles are 90 degree in rectangle and in rhombus, all the size has equal length.  

A rectangle has four sides with flat shape and all the angle is a right angle. Since all the sides are equal, a rectangle is called equiangular quadrilateral. It is also called parallelogram due to the fact that all the lines are parallel, a parallelogram is a quadrilateral where the opposite sides are equal and parallel.  

A rhombus has 4 equal straight sides with a flat shape. All the sides of a rhombus have equal length. The opposite sides are equal and parallel. The adjacent sides of a rhombus are supplementary.

Also by definition, all the sides in rhombuses are congruent and it has all the properties of a parallelogram particularly, the parallel sides, opposite angles and consecutive angles

the school store has1200 pendls in stock and sells and sells an average of 25 pencils per day the manager reorders when the numb
forsale [732]

Answer:

Number of pencils in stock = 1200

Average number of pencils sold by the manager per day = 24

Number of pencils that would be sold before reordering = 1200 - 500

                                                                                        = 700

Then

The number of days after which the manager will reorder = 700/24

                                                                                            = 29.16

So the manager has to reorder after about 30 days. Since the answer comes in fraction of more than 29 days, so it has to be 30 days. I hope the procedure is clear for your understanding.

Just to be clear, this answer is not mine, but I remember seeing this question so I just copied someones' answer. Still, you might find this helpful.

About 20​% of babies born with a certain ailment recover fully. a hospital is caring for sixsix babies born with this ailment. t
alisha [4.7K]

Answer :

Yes, the experiment is a binomial experiment because it satisfies all the four characteristics of the binomial experiment :

1. Fixed number of trials

2. Exactly two outcomes

3. Outcomes are independent of each other

4. Probability of all the outcomes remains constant from trial to trial.

Success in the given experiment is that the baby recovers fully.

Hospital is caring for 6 babies , n = 6

p = 0.20 ( Success )

q = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80 ( Not a success )

Value of random variable x is the number of babies which are recovering fully, x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6

How many 4 digit multiples can not be divided by 5
Advocard [28]

Answer:

1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve this question by Modular Airthmatic.

Let the lowest 4 digit number be X.

X= 1 (mod 5)

X =2 (mod 5)

X=3 (mod 5)

X =4 (mod 5)

X=1+5 t where t is any integer.

1+5 t=2 (mod 5)

5 t=1 (mod 5 )

5 is the Modular Inverse of modulo 5

t=1 (mod 5)

t =1+5 u : u= any integer.

X becomes 1+ 5 (1+5u )=6+25 u

6+25u =3 (mod 5)

25 u= -3 (mod 5)=2 (mod 5)

25 is Modular Inverse of Modulo 5

u=2 (mod 5)

u =2+5 v : v= any integer.

X becomes 6 +25 (2+5 v)=56+125 v .

56 +125 v=4 (mod 5)

125 v=-52 (mod 5)=3 (mod 5)

125 is Modular Inverse of modulo 5

v = 3 (mod 5)

v =3 +5 w where w is any integer.

For lowest 4 digit number, take

w=200

X=1003 : Lowest 4 digit number.

Take w=201

X=208 : Next number.

For 4 digit largest number, take

w=1995

X= 9978 : Largest number.

No. of Numbers =(1995 - 200 )+1=1800 □Ans.
