Slope AB 0-(-5)/-3-(-4)= 0+5/-3+4= 5/1= 5 so Slope AB= 5

Answer: Yes, the quadrilateral ABCD is a trapezoid.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the vertices of the quadrilateral ABCD are A(–4, –5), B(–3, 0), C(0, 2), and D(5, 1).

We are to determine whether ABCD is a trapezoid or not.

We know that a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of opposite sides parallel. Also, the slopes of two parallel lines are equal.

First, we will find the slopes of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA.

We have

\textup{Step 1: The slope of AB}=\dfrac{0+5}{-3+4}=\dfrac{5}{1}=5,\\\\\textup{Step 2: The slope of BC}=\dfrac{2-0}{0+3}=\dfrac{2}{3},\\\\\textup{Step 3: The slope of CD}=\dfrac{1-2}{5-0}=-\dfrac{1}{5},\\\\\textup{Step 4: The slope of DA}=\dfrac{-5-1}{-4-5}=\dfrac{2}{3}.

Since the slopes of the sides BC and DA are equal, so BC an DA are the parallel sides of the quadrilateral ABCD.

Thus, the quadrilateral is a trapezoid because it has a pair of opposite sides parallel.

An elevator containing five people can stop at any of seven floors. What is the probability that no two people exit at the same
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Approximately 0.15 (360 / 2401.) (Assume that the choices of the 5 passengers are independent. Also assume that the probability that a passenger chooses a particular floor is the same for all 7 floors.)

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is no requirement that no two passengers exit at the same floor, each of these 5 passenger could choose from any one of the 7 floors. There would be a total of 7 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7 = 7^{5} unique ways for these 5\! passengers to exit the elevator.

Assume that no two passengers are allowed to exit at the same floor.

The first passenger could choose from any of the 7 floors.

However, the second passenger would not be able to choose the same floor as the first passenger. Thus, the second passenger would have to choose from only (7 - 1) = 6 floors.

Likewise, the third passenger would have to choose from only (7 - 2) = 5 floors.

Thus, under the requirement that no two passenger could exit at the same floor, there would be only (7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3) unique ways for these two passengers to exit the elevator.

By the assumption that the choices of the passengers are independent and uniform across the 7 floors. Each of these 7^{5} combinations would be equally likely.

Thus, the probability that the chosen combination satisfies the requirements (no two passengers exit at the same floor) would be:

\begin{aligned}\frac{(7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3)}{7^{5}} \approx 0.15\end{aligned}.

How do you solve law of cosine?​
Effectus [21]

Draw and label a standard Oblique Triangle, as we’ve done in our previous lessons.

Determine the given congruence, either SAS or SSS, and pick the equation that helps you solve for either a missing side or angle.

Plug into your chosen equation and solve.

The "Law of Cosines" can be used to calculate one side of a triangle when the angle opposite and the other two sides are known. The "Law of Cosines" can be expressed as c2 = a2 + b2 - 2 a b cos C (1)

The cosine rule is an extension of this mathematic principal that makes it effective for non-right triangles and states that in regard to a certain angle, the square of the side of the triangle opposite that angle is equal to the squares of the other two sides added together, minus two times both..
