How to explain why a trapezoid is a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral is not always a trapezoid

Mathematics

Alex787 [66]3 years ago

A quadrilateral is any figure with 4 sides, no matter what the lengths of
the sides or the sizes of the angles are ... just as long as it has four straight
sides that meet and close it up.

Once you start imposing some special requirements on the lengths of
the sides,  or their relationship to each other, or the size of the angles,
you start making special kinds of quadrilaterals, that have special names.

The simplest requirement of all is that there must be one pair of sides that
are parallel to each other.  That makes a quadrilateral called a 'trapezoid'.
That's why a quadrilateral is not always a trapezoid.

Here are some other, more strict requirements, that make other special
quadrilaterals:

-- Two pairs of parallel sides . . . . 'parallelogram'

-- Two pairs of parallel sides
AND all angles the same size . . . . 'rectangle'
           (also a special kind of parallelogram)

-- Two pairs of parallel sides
AND all sides the same length . . . 'rhombus'
           (also a special kind of parallelogram)

-- Two pairs of parallel sides
AND all sides the same length
AND all angles the same size . . . . 'square'.
           (also a special kind of parallelogram, rectangle, and rhombus)

A hot air balloon is descending at a rate of 287 feet per minute.
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the rate of change or slope
  • b is the y-intercept

A hot air balloon is descending at a rate of 287 feet per minute.

Thus, the rate of change m = -287

The negative sign indicates that a hot air balloon is descending.

Let y be elevation.

Let x be the time (in minutes)

As there is no mentioning of the initial height.

Thus, the y-intercept b = 0

now substituting m = -287 and b = 0

y = mx + b

y = -287x + 0

y = -287x

In order to determine the total change in elevation of the balloon in 4 minutes, we need to substitute x = 4 in the equation y = -287x.

Thus, the total change in elevation of the balloon in 4 minutes will be:

y = -287x

y = -287(4)

y = -1148 feet

The negative sign indicates that that the elevation is decreasing.

Lines,rays,and segments
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: line: To represent straight objects in geometry, mathematicians introduced the concept of line or straight line

rays: vector, a ray is a vector from a point to a point. In geometry, a ray is usually taken as a half-infinite line (also known as a half-line) with one of the two points and taken to be at infinity

segments: The term line segment refers to a section of a line bounded by two distinct points. It is comprised of all points on the line between its endpoints. A closed line segment includes both endpoints, whereas an open line segment excludes both endpoints.
