To solve this, you’ll first need to solve for their slopes.
The slope for line Q is y2-y1/x2-x1 = -8-(-2)/-8-(-10) = -3
We know that the lines are perpendicular so the negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3
The equation you get it y = 1/3x + b.
Now you will need to solve for b by substituting in the first ordered pair of line R.
2 = 1/3(1) + b.
Once you solve for b, you should get 5/3 and y = 1/3x + 5/3
Now, to find a, you will need to substitute in 10 from the second ordered pair into x in your new equation.
y = 1/3(10) + 5/3.
Your solution should be 5.
So your answer is: a = 5
No, he forgot to add the area of the triangles to the area of the rectangle.
It is said that Jeremy thought he solved for the area of the whole parallelogram correctly by multiplying the base and height of the rectangle, which is just a part of the whole parallelogram.
Jeremy’s answer is incomplete, he only calculated the area of the triangle as the answer.
This is because one way of finding an area of a parallelogram is dividing the shape into a rectangle with a triangle on each side.
The real area of the parallelogram is 70 cm^2
(with areas of each triangles added)
With that being said, the formula of a parallelogram that is said is:
A = bh
Which means a height perpendicular to the base of the whole paralleogram.
Answer:
One quart is 2 pints
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply the number of quarts by 2 to get the number of pints.
The algebraic expression uses the terms to denote symbols
sum of means addition
difference of means subtraction
product of means multiplication
quotient of means division
Here we have the term 6x
which actually means 6 times x or
6 multiplied by x
hence by multiplication we use the word product of
so we have the product of 6 and a number as our right answer
