Answer:

B. See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula between two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2):

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

Find the lengths of all sides of quadrilateral DEFG:

DE=\sqrt{(-a-b-0)^2+(c-2c)^2}=\sqrt{(a+b)^2+c^2}\\ \\EF=\sqrt{(a+-b-0)^2+(c-2c)^2}=\sqrt{(a+b)^2+c^2}\\ \\FG=\sqrt{(a+b-0)^2+(c-0)^2}=\sqrt{(a+b)^2+c^2}\\ \\GD=\sqrt{(-a-b-0)^2+(c-0)^2}=\sqrt{(a+b)^2+c^2}\\ \\

All sides are of the same length. Now fond the slopes of all sides:

DE=\dfrac{2c-c}{0-(-a-b)}=\dfrac{c}{a+b}\\ \\EF=\dfrac{c-2c}{a+b-0}=-\dfrac{c}{a+b}\\ \\FG=\dfrac{c-0}{a+b-0}=\dfrac{c}{a+b}\\ \\GD=\dfrac{c-c}{-a-b-0}=-\dfrac{c}{a+b}\\ \\

The slopes of the sides DE and FG are the same, so these sides are parallel. The slopes of the sides EF and GD are the same, so these sides are parallel.

Please anybody help me in this
Simora [160]

Answer:

<h2>a) 0.38</h2><h2>b) 0.62</h2><h2>c) 0.78</h2><h2>d) 0.03</h2><h2>e) 0.02</h2><h2>f) 0.62</h2><h2>g) 0.38</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Probability of a owner to be moved = \frac{total owner}{total Americans} = \frac{14.8}{39} = 0.379 ≅ 0.38

b)

Probability of a renter to be moved = \frac{total renters}{total Americans} = \frac{24.2}{39} = 0.62

c)

Probability of a person who moved in the same state = \frac{Persons who moved to the same state}{Total Americans} = \frac{30.4}{39} = 0.779 ≅ 0.78

d)

Probability of a person who moved to a different country = \frac{Total moved to different country}{Total Americans} = \frac{1.3}{39} = 0.033 ≅0.03

e)

Probability of a owner who moved to a different country = \frac{Owners that moved to different country}{Total people who moved to different country} = \frac{0.3}{14.8} = 0.02

f)

Probability of a renter moving in the same state = \frac{Renter that moved in the same state}{Total persons moved in the same state} = \frac{18.7}{30.4} = 0.615 ≅ 0.62

g)

Probability of an owner moved to different state = \frac{Owners moved in different state}{Total moved in different state} = \frac{2.8}{7.3} ≅0.38

What is the sum in simplest form for 5/8+2/5
Bogdan [553]
(5/8)+(2/5)= 

so you need a common den so in this case its 40

so we multiply to get 40 like

(5/5)(5/8)+ (2/5)(8/8)=

25/40 + 16/ 40 = 41/40
