Answer:

(a)The missing measurements are 9 feet and 16\frac{1}{4}$ feet.

(b)Therefore, the length of the fence is  97\frac{1}{2}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the yard is attached below.

(a)I have labeled the missing dimensions of the yard as x and y.

Therefore:

y+8\frac{1}{4}=17 \frac{1}{4}\\y=17 \frac{1}{4}-8\frac{1}{4}\\y=9$ feet

Similarly:

x+15\frac{1}{4}=31\frac{1}{2}\\x=31\frac{1}{2}-15\frac{1}{4}\\x=31-15+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}\\x=16+\frac{1}{4}\\x=16\frac{1}{4}$ feet

The missing measurements are 9 feet and 16\frac{1}{4}$ feet.

(b)Length of the Fence

The fence is rectangular shaped with:

Length = 31\frac{1}{2}$ feet

Width = 17 \frac{1}{4}$ feet

Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2(L+W)

Therefore, the length of the fence

=2(31\frac{1}{2}+17 \frac{1}{4})\\=2(31+17+\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{4})\\=2(48+ \frac{3}{4})\\=96+\frac{3}{2}\\=97\frac{1}{2}$ feet

A quadrilateral has angle measures of 120°, 37°, and 48°. What is the measure of the fourth angle?
White raven [17]
155 degrees because the sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
x + 120 + 37 + 48 = 360
x= 155

Given that LM and LN are tangent to the circle and that the measure of angle MLN = 75.86, find the measure of arc MN.
siniylev [52]

we know that

The measure of the external angle is the semidifference of the arcs that it covers

so

∠MLN=(1/2)*(mayor arc MN-minor arc MN)

Let

x------> minor arc MN

major arc MN=360-x

substitute in the formula above

∠MLN=(1/2)*(mayor arc MN-minor arc MN)

75.86=(1/2)*(360-x-x)------> 151.72=(360-2x)------>360-151.72=2x

x=104.14°

therefore

the answer is

the measure of arc MN (minor arc) is 104.14°

Work out the gradient of the line joining the points (2, 3) and (5,7)
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The gradient of the line joining the points P(x,y) = (2,3) and Q(x,y) = (5,7) is \frac{4}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of the line joining two distinct point on a plane is represented by the slope of a secant line (m_{PQ}), that is:

m_{PQ} = \frac{y_{Q}-y_{P}}{x_{Q}-x_{P}} (1)

If we know that P(x,y) = (2,3) and Q(x,y) = (5,7), then the gradient of the line is:

m_{PQ} = \frac{7-3}{5-2}

m_{PQ} = \frac{4}{3}

The gradient of the line joining the points P(x,y) = (2,3) and Q(x,y) = (5,7) is \frac{4}{3}.
