Which angle determines whether or not quadrilateral SVUT is a trapezoid? What measure would the angle need to be for SVUT to be

Lorico [155]

Answer: The answer is ∠TUV.

Step-by-step explanation: Given in the question a quadrilateral SVUT with ∠SVU = 112°. We need to determine the angle whose measure will decide whether or not the quadrilateral SVUT is a trapezoid.

We know that for a quadrilateral to be a trapezoid, we need only one condition that one pair of opposite sides must be parallel.

So, in quadrilateral SVUT, since the measure of ∠SVU is given, so we can decide it is a trapezoid or not if we know the measure of ∠TUV. As ST and UV cannot be parallel, so its meaningless to determine ∠TSV.

For SV and TU to be parallel to each other, we need

∠SVU + ∠TUV = 180° (sum of interior alternate angles).

Therefore,

∠TUV = 180° - 112° = 68°.

Thus, we need to determine ∠TUV and its measure shoul be 68°.

A rectangular plot of land is to be enclosed by a fence. One side is along a river, and does not need to be enclosed. If the tot

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Width 150 meters.

Length = 350 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the width of the fence = k meters

So, both sides = k + k = 2k meters

Also, the TOTAL fencing length = 600 m

So, the one side length of the fence = (600 - 2 k) meters

AREA = LENGTH x WIDTH

⇒ A(k) = (600 - 2k) (k)

or, A = -2k² + 600 k

The above equation is of the form: ax² +bx + C

Here: a = - 2 , b = 600 and C = 0

As a< 0, the parabola opens DOWNWARDS.

Here, x value is given as: $x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

Solving for the value of k similarly, we get:

$k = \frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{600}{2(-2)} = 150$

Thus the desired width = k = 150 meters

So, the desired dimensions of the plot is width 150 meters.

And length = 650 - 2k = 650 - 300 = 350 meters.

Mr Bryce planted a garden in his backyard the length and width of the garden are shown below. what is the area, in square meters

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

A. Area = 5/9 sq.meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = (lenght × widht)

$A=(\frac{5}{6} )(\frac{2}{3}) =\frac{(5)(2)}{(6)(3)} =\frac{10}{18}$

simplified

$A=\frac{5}{9}$

Hope this helps
