Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to construct an equation to solve this. The equation has all the weights of the packages plus x over eight. Set this equal to 12.

You set up the equation like this because you are essentially calculating an average backwards. Usually, you know all the numbers, and you have to find the average. In this case you know the average but not all the numbers.

You add up all the numbers like you would normally do when finding an average. Instead of dividing the sum of the weights by 8, multiply it by 12 to solve for x.

$\frac{25+10+20+4+6+3+9+x}{8} =12\\83+x=96\\x=13$

The weight of the 8th package is 13.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a) SPAZ is equilateral.

b) Diagonals SA and PZ are perpendicular to each other.

c) Diagonals SA and PZ bisect each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we form the triangle with the help of a graphing tool and whose result is attached below. It seems to be a paralellogram.

a) If figure is equilateral, then SP = PA = AZ = ZS:

$SP = \sqrt{[4-(-4)]^{2}+[(-2)-(-4)]^{2}}$

$SP \approx 8.246$

$PA = \sqrt{(6-4)^{2}+[6-(-2)]^{2}}$

$PA \approx 8.246$

$AZ =\sqrt{(-2-6)^{2}+(4-6)^{2}}$

$AZ \approx 8.246$

$ZS = \sqrt{[-4-(-2)]^{2}+(-4-4)^{2}}$

$ZS \approx 8.246$

Therefore, SPAZ is equilateral.

b) We use the slope formula to determine the inclination of diagonals SA and PZ:

$m_{SA} = \frac{6-(-4)}{6-(-4)}$

$m_{SA} = 1$

$m_{PZ} = \frac{4-(-2)}{-2-4}$

$m_{PZ} = -1$

Since $m_{SA}\cdot m_{PZ} = -1$ , diagonals SA and PZ are perpendicular to each other.

c) The diagonals bisect each other if and only if both have the same midpoint. Now we proceed to determine the midpoints of each diagonal:

$M_{SA} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot S(x,y) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot A(x,y)$

$M_{SA} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (-4,-4)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (6,6)$

$M_{SA} = (-2,-2)+(3,3)$

$M_{SA} = (1,1)$

$M_{PZ} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot P(x,y) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot Z(x,y)$

$M_{PZ} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (4,-2)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (-2,4)$

$M_{PZ} = (2,-1)+(-1,2)$

$M_{PZ} = (1,1)$

Then, the diagonals SA and PZ bisect each other.
