Answer:

x = 14.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 11

b = x

c = 18

plug in and solve

11^2 + x^2 = 18^2

121 + x^2 = 324 - Simplify

x^2 = 203 - subtract 121 from both sides

x = 14.247 rounds to 14.25 - square root on both sides

The coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral DEFG are D(−2, 5) , E(2, 4) , F(0, 0) , and G(−4, 1) .

Answer: The correct option is a.Quadrilateral DEFG is a rhombus because opposite sides are parallel and all four sides have the same length.

Explanation:

It is given that coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral DEFG are D(−2, 5) , E(2, 4) , F(0, 0) , and G(−4, 1) .

The distance formula for two points is given below,

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$DE=\sqrt{(2+2)^2+(4-5)^2}=\sqrt{17}$

$EF=\sqrt{(0-2)^2+(0-4)^2}=\sqrt{20}$

$FG=\sqrt{(-4-0)^2+(1-0)^2}=\sqrt{17}$

$DG=\sqrt{(-4+2)^2+(1-5)^2}=\sqrt{20}$

Slope formula,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Slope of DE,

$m_1=\frac{4-5}{2+2}= \frac{-1}{4}$

Slope of EF,

$m_2=\frac{0-4}{0-2}= 2$

Slope of FG,

$m_3=\frac{1-0}{-4-0}= \frac{-1}{4}$

Slope of DG,

$m_4=\frac{1-5}{-4+2}= 2$

The slope of opposite sides are equal, it means the opposite sides are parallel.

All four sides do not have the same length. It means it is not a rhombus.

From the figure it is noticed that the opposite sides are parallel.

Therefore, the correct option is a.Quadrilateral DEFG is a rhombus because opposite sides are parallel and all four sides have the same length.

Answer:

f(x) = -2|x| + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shifts one unit up the y axis since there's a value outside the absolute value which directly adds 1 to it.

Javier has four cylindrical models. The heights, radii, and diagonals of the vertical cross-sections of the models are shown in

Ronch [10]

The model in which the lateral surface meets the base at right angle is : Model 1.

<h3>What is a lateral surface?</h3>

The lateral surface of an object is all surfaces of that object excluding its base and top.

Analysis:

To know the exact model, we check for the models in which their dimensions form a Pythagorean triplet otherwise a right-angled triangle.

For Pythagorean triplet, the square of the diagonal must be equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.

Model 1

Diagonal = 50cm, radius = 14cm, lateral height = 48cm

$(50)^{2}$ = $(14)^{2}$ + $(48)^{2}$

2500 = 196 + 2304

2500 = 2500. Forms Pythagorean triplet

Model 2

Diagonal= 37cm, radius = 6cm lateral height = 35cm

$(37)^{2}$ = $(35)^{2}$ + $(6)^{2}$

1369 = 1225 +36

1369 $\neq$ 1261

Model 3

Diagonal = 60cm, radius = 20cm lateral height = 40cm

$(60)^{2}$ = $(20)^{2}$ + $(40)^{2}$

3600 = 400 + 1600

3600 $\neq$ 2000

Model 4

Diagonal = 30cm, radius = 24cm, lateral height = 9cm

$(30)^{2}$ = $(24)^{2}$ + $(9)^{2}$

900 = 576 + 81

900 $\neq$ 657

Therefore the lateral surface model 1 meets the base at right angle

In conclusion, the lateral surface of model 1 meets the base at right angles as the dimensions form a right-angled triangle.
