Your question was wrong. I had to watch the photo.

-2²=4
4(4)=16
16(3)=48
48²=2304

When I read your text I though this:
4(-2)=-8
-8(3)=-24
-24²=576
576²=331 776

The average of five distinct scores has the same value as the median of the five scores. The sum of the five scores is 420. What

givi [52]

Answer:

The sum of five scores that is not the median is, 336

Step-by-step explanation:

Average defined as the the sum of the observation to the total number of the observation.

Given: The sum of the five scores is 420

Then, by definition of average;

Average of five distinct score = $\frac{420}{5} = 84$

It is also, given that the average of five distinct scores has the same value as the median of the five scores.

⇒Median of five scores = 84

Since, scores are distinct, therefore

Sum of all scores that is not the median = Sum of five scores - median = 420-84 = 336

therefore, the sum of five scores that is not the median is, 336

Which description does NOT guarantee that a quadrilateral is a square?

Ivahew [28]

Let's go through the choices one by one

------------------------------------------
Choice A

If all sides are congruent, then this figure is a rhombus (by definition). If all angles are congruent, then we have a rectangle. Combine the properties of a rhombus with the properties of a rectangle and we have a square.

In terms of "algebra", you can think
rhombus+rectangle = square

Or you can draw out a venn diagram. One circle represents the set of all rhombuses; another circle represents the set of all rectangles. The overlapping region is the set of all squares. The overlapping region is inside both circles at the same time.

So we can rule out choice A. This guarantees we have a square when we want something that isn't a guarantee.

------------------------------------------
Choice B

If we had a parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals, then we can prove that we have a rhombus (all four sides congruent). However, we don't know anything about the four angles of this parallelogram. Are they congruent? We don't know. So we can't prove this figure is a rectangle. The best we can say is that it's a rhombus. It may or may not be a rectangle. There isn't enough info about the rectangle & square part.

This is why choice B is the answer. We have some info, but not enough to be guaranteed everytime.

------------------------------------------
Choice C

This is a repeat of choice A. Having "all right angles" is the same as saying "all angles congruent". This is because "right angle" is the same as saying "90 degrees". So we can rule out choice C for identical reasons as we did with choice A.

------------------------------------------
Choice D

As mentioned before in choice A, if we know that a quadrilateral is a rectangle and a rhombus at the same time, then the figure is also a square. This is always true, so we are guaranteed to have a square. We can cross choice D off the list.

------------------------------------------

Once again, the final answer is choice B

In the diagram below,AB is the diameter of the circle with centre P.Point C lies on the y-axis.Given the coordinates of A and B

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The coordinates of P are (-2,0)

The radius of the circle is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Analytic geometry

The diagram shows a circle with center P, and two points A(-6,3) and B(2,-3) that form the diameter of the circle.

The center of the circle lies at the midpoint of A and B. The midpoint (xm,ym) can be calculated by:

$\displaystyle x_m=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$

$\displaystyle y_m=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

Substituting x1=-6, x2=2, y1=3, y2=-3:

$\displaystyle x_m=\frac{-6+2}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2$

$\displaystyle y_m=\frac{3-3}{2}=0$

Thus, the coordinates of P are (-2,0)

b) The radius of the circle is the distance from the center to any point in its circumference. We can use the distance from P to A or B indistinctly.

Given two points A(x1,y1) and P(x2,y2), the distance between them is:

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

Substituting x1=-6, x2=-2, y1=3, y2=0:

$r=\sqrt{(-2+6)^2+(0-3)^2}$

$r=\sqrt{4^2+(-3)^2}$

$r=\sqrt{16+9}=\sqrt{25}=5$

The radius of the circle is 5.

What is the slope of a line parallel to line B?

which of the following are among the five basic postulates of euclidean geometry? check all that apply

MAVERICK [17]

The five essential hypothesizes of Geometry, additionally alluded to as Euclid's proposes are the accompanying:
1.) A straight line section can be drawn joining any two focuses.
2.) Any straight line portion can be expanded uncertainly in a straight line.
3.) Given any straight line fragment, a circle can be drawn having the portion as a span and one endpoint as the inside.
4.) All correct points are harmonious.
5.) If two lines are drawn which meet a third such that the total of the internal points on one side is under two right edges (or 180 degrees), then the two lines unavoidably should converge each other on that side if reached out sufficiently far.
