Answer:

About 4.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagorean Theorem : a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(2)^2 + (4)^2 = c^2

4 + 16 = c^2

20 = c^2

Take the the square root of 20 using a calculator and you get 4.47.

Round that up to 4.5

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION?

Answer:

  B.  More than one quadrilateral exists with the given conditions, and all instances must be isosceles trapezoids.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary. They are only congruent if the parallelogram is a rectangle. In this problem, adjacent angles are both congruent and acute. If this were a triangle, it would guarantee the triangle is isosceles.

The fact that opposite angles are supplementary guarantees that the fourth side of the figure is parallel to the base between the acute angles. That makes the figure an isosceles trapezoid. Unless specific angles and side lengths are specified, the description matches <em>any</em> isosceles trapezoid.

∠R and ∠S are complementary. If m∠R = (2x+7) and m∠S = (4x - 13), find m∠R
____ [38]

Answer:

m∠R = 39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

As complementary angles add up to 90 degrees, we can set up an equation to get x then find the measure of ∠R:

m∠R + m∠S = 90

2x+7+4x-13=90

6x+7-13=90

6x-6=90

6x=96

x=16

Since m∠R = (2x+7), 2x+7 would be 2(16)+7 or 39 degrees. So in conclusion, m∠R = 39 degrees

I used math

anyway
remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

so

4n+2 and 1/2=2n+5
minus 2n both sides
4n-2n+2 and 1/2=2n-2n+5
2n+2 and 1/2=0+5
2n+2 and 1/2=5
minus 2 and 1/2 both sides
2n=2 and 1/2
divide both sides by 2
I mean times both sides by 1/2
n=1 and 1/4

answer is C
