A circle can be circumscribed about a quadrilateral if and only if the opposite angles of the quadrilater sum up to 180.

This is not the case, so you can't circumscribe a circle about the quadrilateral.

Lisa draws a circle by tracing around the bottom of block. which could be the shape of Lisa's block

Andrej [43]

Let's think of something that one can hold against a page and draw a circle. Some examples are: a cup, a D battery, a can of soda, the tube from the inside of a paper towel roll, a can of beans, etc.

Think of the can of beans. The part that touches the page (and that you trace around with your pencil) is called a face.What these items have in common is that the faces at the ends are circles (they may or may not be the same size).

The name for this 3-D figure is called a cylinder. Her block, therefore, is a cylinder.

Technically, if the ends were ovals we would still call it a cylinder and so to make sure you have the one with the circles at the ends you would say you have a "right circular cylinder" but for most cases people just say "cylinder" and assume the ends are circles. It really depends what level (elementary, middle school, hs, college) of math you are doing whether just cylinder suffices.

-3(5)^2-(-2)(-8) simplify

avanturin [10]

To do this, we're going to use the order of operations (PEMDAS):

P - Parentheses

E - Exponents

M - Multiplication

D - Division

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

First let's do parentheses, there isn't anythig in parentheses we need to simplify, so we can skip this step.

Next let's look for exponents. I see we have a $5^2$ so let's replace that with $5^2=25$ :

$-3(25)-(-2)(-8)$

Now let's look for multiplcation. We know that things that are right next to eachother in parentheses represent multiplcation, so let's simply this more:

$-3(25)=-75$
