Answer:

x=11, y=8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider quadrilateral LMNO. If this quadrilateral MUST BE a parallelogram, then

LM=NO

and

LO=MN

Thus,

\left\{\begin{array}{l}4x+4=5x-7\\ \\x-7=3y-4\end{array}\right.

Solve this system of two equations. From the first equation:

4x-5x=-7-4\\ \\-x=-11\\ \\x=11

Substitute it into the second equation:

11-7=3y-4\\ \\3y-4=4\\ \\3y=4+4\\ \\3y=8\\ \\y=\dfrac{8}{3}

Mary needs to order pizza for 18 students. Each student should get 4/7 of a pizza. How many pizzas should Mary order? How much p
Llana [10]

Answer:

11 pizzas, 5/7 left

Step-by-step explanation:

to find out how much pizza is needed, multiply 4/7 by 18 to get 72/7. round up to get 77/7 or 11 pizzas. 77/7 - 72/7= 5/7 so there will be 5/7 left over

Draw two polygons that have corresponding angles that are all congruent but are not similar to prove that angle congruence is no
Marina86 [1]

There are infinitely many ways to do this. One such way is to draw a very thin stretched out rectangle (say one that is very tall) and a square. Example: the rectangle is 100 by 2, while the square is 4 by 4.

Both the rectangle and the square have the same corresponding angle measures. All angles are 90 degrees.

However, the figures are not similar. You cannot scale the rectangle to have it line up with the square. The proportions of the sides do not lead to the same ratio

100/4 = 25

2/4 = 0.5

so 100/4 = 2/4 is not a true equation. This numerically proves the figures are not similar.

side note: if you are working with triangles, then all you need are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles. If you have more than three sides for the polygon, then you'll need to confirm the sides are in proportion along with the angles being congruent as well.
