How does the slope formula help you classify figures

1 answer:

Tomtit [17]3 years ago

Using the distance formula, you can determine the lengths of the sides of the shape. This will help determine if triangles are equilateral, isosceles or scalene; or if quadrilaterals are squares, rectangles, rhombi, or isosceles trapezoids; or if other polygons are regular polygons. The slope formula will tell help you determine if two sides are parallel. In a quadrilateral, this will help you determine if the figure is a parallelogram or a trapezoid.

Guys help me please ,how to solve it? i need a solution

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

well, x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

here,

EB Is parallel to DC , so

Angle AEB = Angle ADE

( because they are corresponding angle pair )

Angle ABE = Angle ACD

( because they are corresponding angle pair )

triangle ADC Is similar to triangle AEB

(By AA similarity criteria )

hence AE / ED = AB / BC ( by CPCT )

so 24/10 = 12/x

=》 24/12= 10/x

=》 x = 5

okay i hope u got it

4. A horizontal ellipse, centered at the origin has a major axis of 10 units and minor axis of 8 units. Write the

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

$\frac{x^2}{25} +\frac{y^2}{16} =1$

Step-by-step explanation:

For ellipses, the length of the major axis is represents as:

Major axis = $2a$

where $a$ is called the semi-major axis.

In this case since the major axis is equal to 10 units:

$10=2a$

solving for the semi-major axis $a$ :

$a=10/2\\a=5$

and also the minor axis of an ellipse is represented as:

Minor axis = $2b$

where $b$ is called the semi-minor axis.

Since the minor axis has a length of 8 units:

$8=2b$

solving for b:

$b=8/2\\b=4$

Now we can use the equation for an ellipse centered at the origin (0,0):

$\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1$

and substituting the values for $a$ and $b$ :

$\frac{x^2}{5^2} +\frac{y^2}{4^2} =1$

and finall we simplify the expression to get the equation of the ellipse:

$\frac{x^2}{25} +\frac{y^2}{16} =1$

Please answer and explain.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the exterior angles of a 4 sided polygon is 360

139+ 6x+9x+2x = 360

Combine like terms

139+17x=360

Subtract 139 from each side

17x = 360-139

17x = 221

Divide each side by 17

17x/17 = 221/17

x = 13
