Quadrilateral ABCD is similiar to quadrilateral EFGH. The lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral ABCD are 24 feet,

32 feet, and 48 feet long. If the two shortest sides of quadrilateral EFGH are 9 feet long and 18 feet long, how long is the 2nd longest side on quadrilateral EFGH?

Answer:

  24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The second longest side of ABCD is 32, and the second shortest side of that quadrilateral is 24. Then we can expect the second longest side of EFGH to be 32/24 times the length of its second shortest side:

  (32/24)×(18 feet) = (4/3)×18 feet = 24 feet

The length of the 2nd longest side of EFGH is 24 feet.

The four points (−2, 5), (−2, −1), (6, −1), and (3, 5) are the vertices of a polygon. What is the area, in square units, of this
crimeas [40]
Look at the picture.

The polygon is a right-angled trapezoid.

The area is:
A=\frac{a+b}{2} \times h

The points (-2,-1) and (6,-1) lie on the same horizontal line, so the distance between them is 6-(-2)=6+2=8. The length of a is 8 units.
The points (-2,5) and (3,5) lie on the same horizontal line, so the distance between them is 3-(-2)=3+2=5. The length of b is 5 units.
The points (-2,5) and (-2,-1) lie on the same vertical line, so the distance between them is 5-(-1)=5+1=6. The length of h is 6 units.

A=\frac{8+5}{2} \times 6=\frac{13}{2} \times 6=13 \times 3=39

The area is 39 square units.

10(1+3x)=-20 and -5x-8(1+7x)=-8 <br> With steps
SOVA2 [1]

(1)

10(1+3x)=-20

Cross multiply.

10+30x=-20

Isolate x on one side. So you would subtract 10 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,

30x=-20-10

Subtract 10 from -20.

30x=-30

Divide each side by 30 to get x.

30x÷30=-30÷30

Therefore,

x=-1

(2)

-5x-8(1+7x)=-8

Cross multiply -8(1+7x)

-5x-8-56x=-8

Isolate all x's on one side. So you would add 8 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,

-5x-56x=-8+8

Add 8 to -8.

-5x-56x=0

Subtract -56x from -5x

-61x=0

Divide each side by -61

-61x÷-61=0÷-61

Therefore,

x=0

1oo divided into ratio 3:7
masha68 [24]
 <span>100 is not divisible by 3 when u divide 100 by 3 u get 33.333333...... not 3.33333..... 
the good explanation of your answer is that 0.999999....is equal to 1 
we can prove it by the following way: 
let x=0.9999.... 
then 10x = 9.999999..... 
subtract we will get 10x - x = 9.9999....- 0.99999...... 
which gives us 9x = 9 and therefore x =1 
i hope this will help u with your confusion.......  :)</span><span>
