The values are x=8 and y=10

Explanation:

From the figure, we can see that the two quadrilaterals are similar.

Thus, by the property of quadrilateral, for similar quadrilaterals, their corresponding angles and sides are congruent. Thus, we have,

∠D = ∠S, ∠E = ∠P, ∠G = ∠R and ∠F = ∠Q

Also, GF = QR and DE = PS

Where QR = 2x-4 and ∠D = 102°, ∠G = 84° and ∠F = 68°, ∠Q = (6y+x)°

Hence, to determine the value of x for the side QR, we have,

Equating the values in GF = QR,we get,

12=2x-4\\16=2x\\8=x

Thus, the value of x is 8.

Substituting x in the angle Q to determine the value of y.

Thus, we have,

∠F = ∠Q

68=6y+x\\68=6y+8\\60=6y\\10=y

Thus, the value of y is 10.

Hence, The values are x=8 and y=10

Answer:  D) reflection across y = -x

Explanation:

When we reflect over y = x, we basically swap x and y. So for instance, the point (3,1) becomes (1,3).

When reflecting over y = -x, we will do the same thing but we'll make each coordinate swap in sign from positive to negative (or vice versa). The rule for reflecting over y = -x is (x,y) \to (-y,-x)

So if we apply that rule to point A(3,1) then it becomes A ' (-1, -3).

Similarly, B(1,5) moves to B ' (-5, -1)

Finally, C(6,9) becomes C ' (-9, -6)

What is the answer to -3k-(-8)+2
NISA [10]

Answer:

-3k + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

-3k - (-8) + 2

-3k + 8 + 2 !!

-3k + 10 → simplified version of the given expression

!! → We got rid of the parenthesis by combining the two negative signs. The rules state that any 2 identical signs combined (in this case, - and -) equal a positive sign (+).

Hope it helped,

How many millimeters are there in 16 meters
Anika [276]
One of the very nice features of the metric system of measurements is that there is a set of standardized prefixes that can be applied to any of the units. Some of the more common ones are
.. micro- . . . one millionth
.. milli- . . . . one thousandth
.. centi- . . . .one hundredth
.. kilo- . . . . .one thousand

Thus, one millimeter is 1/1000 = 0.001 meter. There are 1000 of them in 1 meter, so
.. 16 m = 16000 mm
