Answer:

US

0 parallel lines
optionally, one or two (opposite) angles may be 90°

World

2 parallel lines
optionally, one line perpendicular to the two parallel lines

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on where you are. A "trapezium" outside the US is the same as a "trapezoid" in the US, and vice versa.

A trapezium (World; trapezoid in the US) is characterized by exactly one pair of parallel lines. One of the lines that are not parallel may be perpendicular to the parallel lines, but that will only be true for the specific case of a "right" trapezium.

A trapezium (US; trapezoid in the World) is characterized by no parallel lines. It may have one angle or opposite angles that are right angles (one or two sets of perpendicular lines), but neither diagonal may bisect the other.

In the US, "trapezium" is rarely used. The term "quadrilateral" is generally applied to a 4-sided figure with no sides parallel.

Answer:

$2y + 3d +14\\2(y+7)+3d$

Step-by-step explanation:

We remove the bracket and rearrange the numbers to add them. Only similar variables can be added together.

$(2y+9)+(3d+5)\\2y+9+3d+5\\2y + 3d + 9 +5\\2y + 3d + 14\\2(y+7)+3d$

Answer:

90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: State what is known

Notice that the 2 lines cut the square in half and create 4 congruant triangles. We know a full circle is 360 degrees and the intersection is a perfect circle formed by 4 angles. We can find the angle AEB by dividing 360 by 4 which gives you 90 degrees

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line through the given point woth the given slope

Andrej [43]

Answer:

3.) $\displaystyle y - 4 = 4[x - 1]$

2.) $\displaystyle y + 5 = 2[x + 2]$

1.) $\displaystyle y + 3 = 1\frac{1}{5}[x + 5]$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Point-Slope Formula, $\displaystyle y - y_1 = m[x - x_1],$ all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS.
