How many parallel and perpendicular lines, are there in a trapezium?

Charra [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

<u>US</u>

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

<u>World</u>

  • 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 <em>may</em> have one angle or opposite angles that are right angles (<em>one or two sets of perpendicular lines</em>), 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.

Fiona's Fashion Store is world renowned for its buttoned uniforms. A collection of 36 shirts and 42 jackets contains 842buttons.
Oduvanchick [21]
To solve the problem, what you must do is a system of two equations with two Ingonites that describe the problem.
 Let:
 x = number of shirt buttons.
 y = number of buttons on jackets.
 Writing the system:
 36x + 42y = 842
 6x + 7y = 137
 We observe that the system is linearly dependent, therefore, it can not be solved.
 However, the solution is to solve the system of two equations with two unknowns.
In order to solve it, the system must be linearly independent.

If p+1/p - 7 then find the value of p³+1/p³ ​
ankoles [38]

Answer:

322

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

a^3+b^3=(a+b)^3-3ab(a+b)

p+1/p=7

Now,

p^3+1/p^3=(p+1/p)^3-3*p*1/p(p+1/p)

               =7^3-3(7)=343-21=322
