James cut out four parallelograms, the dimensions of which are shown below. Parallelogram 1 length: 12 in. width: 15 in. diagona

l: 20 in. Parallelogram 2 length: 16 in. width: 30 in. diagonal: 34 in. Parallelogram 3 length: 20 in. width: 21 in. diagonal: 29 in. Parallelogram 4 length: 18 in. width: 20 in. diagonal: 26 in. James put the parallelograms together so one vertex from each paper exists on a point, as shown in the circle. 4 parallelograms are put together so that one vertex from each paper exists on a point. Which statement explains whether or not the parallelgrams can be put together so each occupies one-quarter of the area of the circle without overlapping any other pieces? Check all that apply. The quadrilaterals can be placed such that each occupies one-quarter of the circle. The quadrilaterals cannot be placed such that each occupies one-quarter of the circle because the vertices of parallelogram 1 do not form right angles. The quadrilaterals cannot be placed such that each occupies one-quarter of the circle because the vertices of parallelogram 2 do not form right angles. The quadrilaterals cannot be placed such that each occupies one-quarter of the circle because the vertices of parallelogram 3 do not form right angles. The quadrilaterals cannot be placed such that each occupies one-quarter of the circle because the vertices of parallelogram 4 do not form right angles.

Answer: The correct options are;

*The quadrilaterals cannot be placed such that each occupies one quarter of the circle because the vertices of parallelogram 1 do not form right angles

**The quadrilaterals cannot be placed such that each occupies one quarter of the circle because the vertices of parallelogram 4 do not form right angles.

Step-by-step explanation: What James is trying to do is quite simple which is, he wants to place four quadrilaterals inside a circle and he wants the vertices to touch one another at the center of the circle without having to overlap.

This is possible and quite simple, provided all the quadrilaterals have right angles (90 degrees). This is because the center of the circle measures 360 degrees and we can only have four vertices placed there without overlapping only if they all measure 90 degrees each (that is, 90 times 4 equals 360).

We can now show whether or not all four parallelograms have right angles by applying the Pythagoras' theorem to each of them. Note that James has cut the shapes in such a way that the hypotenuse (diagonal) and the other two legs have already been given in the question. As a reminder, the  Pythagoras' theorem is given as,

AC² = AB² + BC² Where AC is the hypotenuse (diagonal) and AB and BC are the other two legs. The experiment would now be as follows;

Quadrilateral 1;

20² = 12² + 15²

400 = 144 + 225

400 ≠ 369

Therefore the vertices of parallelogram 1 do not form a right angle

Quadrilateral 2;

34² = 16² + 30²

1156 = 256 + 900

1156 = 1156

Therefore the vertices of parallelogram 2 forms a right angle

Quadrilateral 3;

29² = 20² + 21²

841 = 400 + 441

841 = 841

Therefore the vertices of parallelogram 3 forms a right angle

Quadrilateral 4;

26² = 18² + 20²

676 = 324 + 400

676 ≠ 724

Therefore the vertices of parallelogram 4 do not form a right angle

The results above shows that only two of the parallelograms cut out have right angles (like a proper square or rectangle for instance), while the other two do not have right angles.

Therefore, the correct option are as follows;

The quadrilaterals cannot be placed such that each occupies one quarter of the circle because the vertices of parallelogram 1 do not form right angles.

The quadrilaterals cannot be placed such that each occupies one quarter of the circle because the vertices of parallelogram 4 do not form right angles.

Answer:

B and E

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadrilaterals cannot be placed such that each occupies one-quarter of the circle because the vertices of parallelogram 1 do not form right angles.

The quadrilaterals cannot be placed such that each occupies one-quarter of the circle because the vertices of parallelogram 4 do not form right angles.

What is the weight of one half of two thirds of a sack of rice? The sack of rice weighs 99 kilograms.
Eddi Din [679]
First you need to find what 2/3 equals
to do this, take 99 divided by 3
99/3=33

if 1/3 equals 33, two thirds would be 33x2
33x2=66

now, you need to find 1/2 of 66.  this can be done 2 different ways

1.    66 divided by 2    -    66/2=33
OR
2.    66 x 1/2 = 33     OR     66 x .5 = 33

The answer is 33 kilograms

Hi, could you help answer the questions in the image below?
ExtremeBDS [4]
In the second picture, top left is order 2, top right is order 4, bottom right is order 4, bottom left is order 2 I think but I'm not positive on that one. That's all I know for now, I'm currently in Calculus so my Geometry is a bit rusty.

The graph shows the volume of oil (L litres) in a tank at time t seconds. a)find the gradient of the graph b)explain what this g
Alisiya [41]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

a. Using two points on the line (0, 2) and (4, 12), find the gradient:

Gradient = ∆y/∆x = (12 - 2) / (4 - 0) = 10/4 = 2.5

Gradient = 2.5

b. The gradient, 2.5, represents the unit rate. That is, the volume of the oil in the tank per second.

i.e. 2.5 litres per second

c. The value, L = 2 represents the y-intercept, which is the starting value or initial volume of oil in the tank at 0 secs.

Is 0.8 a rational number
Ierofanga [76]
Yes. If you can express it as a fraction (=ratio) then it is rational. 0.8 is the same as 8/10.
