Make a conjunction about the sum of interior angles of quadrilateral justify reasoning

I think instead of "conjunction" it should say "conjecture"

Anyways, draw out a quadrilateral (see figure 1 attached). It can be any figure with 4 sides. Label the angles as A, B, C and D. The conjecture to prove is that A+B+C+D = 360. In other words, the sum of the four angles of any quadrilateral is always 360 degrees.

Draw a segment from A to C. This segment will cut the quadrilateral into two triangles. Re-label angle A to angle E and F. Do the same for angle C (label it G and H). Essentially, angle A = E+F and angle C = G+H. 
See figure 2. Notice how I've color-coded things. The blue angles correspond to one triangle while the red angles correspond to the other triangle. 

Since we know that three angles of a triangle always add to 180, we can say
B+G+E = 180
F+D+H = 180

Add the two equations (add left side separately; do the same for the right side)
Doing so leads to
B+G+E+F+D+H = 180+180
(E+F) + B + (G+H) + D = 360
A+B+C+D = 360

Which proves the conjecture

PLEASE HELP!! SHOW WORK! &lt;3<br> Find the area of this figure. Dimensions are in meters.
densk [106]

Answer:

  2√46 + 25π/4 ≈ 33.2 . . . . m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of the triangle is given by the Pythagorean theorem. The right triangle of interest is the one that has 5√2 as its hypotenuse, and a leg of half the base shown. Then the other leg, the altitude of the triangle, is ...

  h = √((5√2)² - 2²) = √46

Then the area of the triangle shown is ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(4)(√46)

  A = 2√46

__

The area of the semicircle is given by the formula ...

  A = (1/2)πr²

Filling in the radius shown, the area is computed as ...

  A = (1/2)π(5√2/2)² = 25π/4

So, the total area of the figure is ...

  total area = triangle area + semicircle area

  = 2√46 + 25π/4 . . . square meters

  ≈ 33.2 . . . square meters

(01.02 LC)Simplify negative 3 and 1 over 9 − negative 8 and 1 over 3.
blsea [12.9K]

As we are given with

-3\frac{1}{9}-(-8\frac{1}{3})\\\\

we are supposed to simplify this expression. which can be done as below

\\=-3\frac{1}{9}+8\frac{1}{3}\\\\=\frac{-28}{9}+\frac{25}{3}\\\\=\frac{-28+75}{9}\\\\=-\frac{47}{9}\\

=5\frac{2}{9}
