Explanation:
a. The line joining the midpoints of the parallel bases is perpendicular to both of them. It is the line of symmetry for the trapezoid. This means the angles and sides on one side of that line of symmetry are congruent to the corresponding angles and sides on the other side of the line. The diagonals are the same length.
__
b. We observe that adjacent pairs of points have the same x-coordinate, so are on vertical lines, which have undefined slope. KN is a segment of the line x=1; LM is a segment of the line x=3. If the trapezoid is isosceles, the midpoints of these segments will be on a horizontal line. The midpoint of KN is at y=(3-2)/2 = 1/2. The midpoint of LM is at y=(1+0)/2 = 1/2. These points are on the same horizontal line, so the trapezoid <em>is isosceles</em>.
__
c. We observed in part (b) that the parallel sides are KN and LM. The coordinate difference between K and L is (1, 3) -(3, 1) = (-2, 2). That is, segment KL is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle with side lengths 2, so the lengths of KL and MN are both 2√2.
_____
For part (c), we used the shortcut that the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is √2 times the leg length.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a farmer finds there is a linear relationship between the number of bean stalks, n, she plants and the yield, y, each plant produces
When we consider this graph as a straight line, the two points lying on the line would be
(30, 30) and (34, 28) taking n as horizontal and y vertical
Using two point equation we find that
the equation of the line is
Substitute the points as x =n
is the linear relationship between n and y
Answer:
Odd
Step-by-step explanation:
Any terminating decimal number is rational.
A rational number is a number that can be written as a fraction of integers.
0.444 = 444/1000 = 222/500 = 111/250
0.444 is the same as 111/250, a fraction of integers, so 0.444 is rational.
Answer:
x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or x = -9/5 - sqrt(3)/5
Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
4 (5 x + 9)^2 - 33 = -21
Add 33 to both sides:
4 (5 x + 9)^2 = 12
Divide both sides by 4:
(5 x + 9)^2 = 3
Take the square root of both sides:
5 x + 9 = sqrt(3) or 5 x + 9 = -sqrt(3)
Subtract 9 from both sides:
5 x = sqrt(3) - 9 or 5 x + 9 = -sqrt(3)
Divide both sides by 5:
x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or 5 x + 9 = -sqrt(3)
Subtract 9 from both sides:
x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or 5 x = -9 - sqrt(3)
Divide both sides by 5:
Answer: x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or x = -9/5 - sqrt(3)/5
