Hello,
3 solutions:
a=0,b=0 ==>a+b=0,a*b=0a=4,b=12 ==> a+b=16, a*b=48a=6,b=6 ==>a+b=12,a*b=36

If <3 and <4 are vertical angles and m<3=9x+5 and m<4=5x+33 find <4

KatRina [158]

Answer:

<em>68 degrees</em>

Step-by-step explanation

If <3 and <4 are vertical angles, then <3 = <4

This means that

9x + 5 = 5x + 33

9x - 5x = 33 - 5

4x = 28

x = 28/4

x = 7

Since <4 = 5x+ 33

<4 = 5(7) + 33

<4 = 35 + 33

<4 = 68 degrees

<em>Hence the measure of <4 is 68 degrees</em>

Nathan wants to use coordinate geometry to prove that the opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent. He places parallelogram A

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The formula determine the distance from C to D is:

$\sqrt{(0-a)^2+(-b)^2}=\sqrt{a^2}=a$

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

The formula that can be used to determine the distance from point C to point D is:

$\sqrt{(0-a)^2+(-b)^2}=\sqrt{a^2}=a$

We know that distance between two points A(a,b) and B(c,d) is equal to the length of the line segment AB and is calculated by the help of the formula:

$\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(b-d)^2}$

So, here we have:

(a,b)=(a,b) and (c,d)=(0,b)
