If you draw a diagonal from upper left to lower right, you divide the figure into two triangles. One is a 3-4-5 right triangle (with area = (1/2)*3*4 = 6). The other is a 5-5-4 isosceles triangle.
The altitude of the isosceles triangle (upper left vertex to side 4) can be found from the Pythagorean theorem as
.. altitude = √(5^2 -2^2) = √21
So, the area of the isosceles triangle is
.. (1/2)*4*√21 = 2√21
The sum of the areas of the two triangles matches selection C.

The <u>new system</u> of equivalent equations are 4x + 6y = 8 and 12x + 3y = 1
To get an equivalent equation, we multiply the original equation by a constant and replace it with the new equation.
So, 2x + 3y = 4 (1)
12x + 3y = 1 (2)
We multiply equation (1) by 2
So, 2x + 3y = 4 (1) × 2
⇒4x + 6y = 8 (3)
Replacing (1) by (3), we have
4x + 6y = 8 (3)
12x + 3y = 1 (2)
So, the <u>new system</u> of equivalent equations are 4x + 6y = 8 and 12x + 3y = 1.

The <u>new system</u> of equivalent equations are 3x - 21y = 24 and 5x + 4y = 20
To get an equivalent equation, we multiply the original equation by a constant and replace it with the new equation.
So,
x - 7y = 8 (1)
5x + 4y = 20 (2)
We multiply equation (1) by 3, we have
So, x - 7y = 8 (1) × 3
⇒3x - 21y = 24 (3)
Replacing (1) by (3), we have
3x - 21y = 24 (3)
5x + 4y = 20 (2)
So, the <u>new system</u> of equivalent equations are 3x - 21y = 24 and 5x + 4y = 20.

87 is a composite number because it is divisible by 3, all of the rest of the numbers are prime
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like
- AB⟂CD
- AB and CD bisect each other.
Answer:
<u>2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1 </u>
<u>OR</u>
<u>1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
It is required to compare Two-fifths, Six-sevenths, Five-eighths, and 1
Two-fifths = 2/5
Six-sevenths = 6/7
Five-eighths = 5/8
So, the given numbers are: 2/5, 6/7, 5/8, and 1
We need to make the numbers in order from the least to the greatest or from the greatest to the least
The easy method is convert the rational numbers to decimal numbers
So,
2/5 = 0.4
6/7 ≈ 0.857
5/8 = 0.625
1 = 1
So, the numbers form the least to the greatest are:
0.4 , 0.625 , 0.857 , 1
So,
2/5 , 5/8 , 6/7 , 1
The inequality correctly compares the numbers are:
<u>2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1</u>
Or can be written from the greatest to the least as:
<u>1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5 </u>
