M + t + w = 19
t = 2m
w = t - 6....w = 2m - 6

m + (2m) + (2m - 6) = 19
5m - 6 = 19
5m = 19 + 6
5m = 25
m = 25/5
m = 5 <===Monday

t = 2m
t = 2(5)
t = 10 ... Tuesday

w = 2m - 6
w = 2(5) - 6
w = 10 - 6
w = 4 .... Wednesday

John was visiting four cities that form a rectangle on a coordinate grid at A(0, 4), B(4, 2), C(1, -4) and D(-3, -2). What is th

allsm [11]

Answer:

$Area = 30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle coordinates

$A = (0,4)$

$B = (4,2)$

$C = (1,-4)$

$D =(-3,-2)$

Required

The area of the rectangle

The area is calculated as:

$Area = Length* Width$

The length of the rectangle will be represented as:

$Length = AB = CD$

And the width is:

$Width = BC = AD$

Calculate distance AB using:

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

Where:

$A = (0,4)$ --- $(x_1,y_1)$

$B = (4,2)$ $--- (x_2,y_2)$

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

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

$AB = \sqrt{16 +4 }$

$AB = \sqrt{20}$

Calculate distance BC using:

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

$C = (1,-4)$ $---(x_1,y_1)$

$B = (4,2)$ $--- (x_2,y_2)$

$BC = \sqrt{(1 - 4)^2 +(-4 - 2)^2 }$

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

$BC = \sqrt{9 +36}$

$BC = \sqrt{45}$

So, the area is:

$Area = Length * Width$

$Area = AB * BC$

$Area = \sqrt{20} * \sqrt{45}$

$Area = \sqrt{20 * 45}$

$Area = \sqrt{900$

$Area = 30$

Find the value of y, please explain how and give the answer!

Gnoma [55]

You would do 3x+90=180 because a straight line equals 180°. then you find x=30. then x and z add to get 180 because x fits in the slot above z so 180-30 equals 150°. if z equals 150° then 180-150 equals 30. so x=30,y=15, and z=150

A) 31°<br> B) 42°<br> C) 53°<br> D) 149°

Korolek [52]

Answer:

C. 53°

Step-by-step explanation:

<l + 96° = 149° <exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles>

< l = 149° - 96°

<l = 53°

Hope it will help :)❤
