A Polygon is a two dimensional figure that can be drawn on a flat surface.A cube is a three dimensional figure that can be sculpted in three dimensions but can only have projections of it drawn on a flat surface.So a cube is not a polygon.

No, because it is a cube shape and all shapes with four sides are polygons, and a ice cube is oblong /cuboid and it has 12 edges and 6 side.
hope I helped :)
also for more marks you could say that when ans ice cube melts it transfers into a different shape causing it to be a liquid, therefore if it was put in a polygon container, the water would be a ploygon

A boat goes 24 miles at a constant speed in 4 hours against a river current.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

8 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

24miles in 4 hours = 24/4=6 miles per hour.

24 miles in 3 hours = 24/3=8 miles per hour. The boat going with the current of the river is traveling at 8 miles per hour.

one x-intercept for a parabola is at the point (2, 0). use the quadratic formula to find the other x-intercept for the parabola

omeli [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 ways to find the other x intercept.

1) Polynomial Long Division.

Divide x^2 - 3x + 2 by the binomial x - 2, because by the Factor Theorem if a is a root of a polynomial then x - a is a factor of said polynomial.

2) Just solving for x when y = 0, by using the quadratic formula.

$x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0\\x_{12} = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9 - 4(1)(2)}}{2} = \frac{3 \pm 1}{2} = 2, 1$ .

So the other x - intercept is at (1, 0)

3) Using Vietta's Theorem regarding the solutions of a quadratic

Namely, the sum of the solutions of a quadratic equation is equal to the quotient between the negative coefficient of the linear term divided by the coefficient of the quadratic term.

$x_1 + x_2 = \frac{-b}{a}$

And the product between the solutions of a quadratic equation is just the quotient between the constant term and the coefficient of the quadratic term.

$x_1 \cdot x_2 = \frac{c}{a}$
