Parralell lines never cross or intersect
Perpendicular lines are lines that meet at a 90 degree angle

Parallel lines:

never meet
have the same slope
first image shows parallel lines

Perpendicular lines:

intersect to form a right angle (90 degree angle)
their slopes are opposite reciprocal
second image shows perpendicular lines

Let me know if you need more differences!

Sara is working on a Geometry problem in her Algebra class. The problem requires Sara to use the two quadrilaterals below to ans

zloy xaker [14]

Part A:

Given a square with sides 6 and x + 4. Also, given a rectangle with sides 2 and 3x + 4

The perimeter of the square is given by 4(x + 4) = 4x + 16

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(2) + 2(3x + 4) = 4 + 6x + 8 = 6x + 12

For the perimeters to be the same

4x + 16 = 6x + 12
4x - 6x = 12 - 16
-2x = -4
x = -4 / -2 = 2

The value of x that makes the perimeters of the quadrilaterals the same is 2.

Part B:

The area of the square is given by

$Area=(x+4)^2=x^2+8x+16$

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(3x + 4) = 6x + 8

For the areas to be the same

$x^2+8x+16=6x+8 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2+8x-6x+16-8=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2+2x+8=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(8)}}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-32}}{2} = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{-28}}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{-2\pm2i\sqrt{7}}{2} =-1\pm i\sqrt{7}$

Thus, there is no real value of x for which the area of the quadrilaterals will be the same.

The prism has a surface area of 1312 mm2.

777dan777 [17]

So each dimention is 32 by 8 by 10
so the surface area=2 times(8 times 10)+(2 times (32 times 10))+(2 times (8 times 32))=2 times 80+2 times 320+2 times 256=1312

if halved
just divide each by 2
(2 times 4 times 5)+(2 times 16 times 5)+(2 times 4 times 16)=(2 times 20)+(2 times 80)+(2 times 64)=40+160+128=328
the new surface area is 328 mm^2

A three-digit number ends in number 7. If you put the number 7 in the first position, the number will increase by 324. Find the

liq [111]

Answer:

The original three-digit number is 417

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find out the solution to this problem, this way:

x = the two digits that are not 7

Original number = 10x+7

The value of the shifted number = 700 + x

Difference between the shifted number and the original number = 324

Therefore, we have:

324 = (700 + x) - (10x + 7)

324 = 700 + x - 10x - 7

9x = 693 - 324 (Like terms)

9x = 369

x = 369/9

x = 41

The original three-digit number is 417

If i were you, i would add one to 7x and fifteen. this gives you x^2+8x+16, a perfect square of x+4.
