Carla and Jonah are working together to determine if quadrilateral CDEF with coordinates C(2, 3), D(1, 2), E(4, 1), and F(5, 3)

has a right angle. Carla sets up the following equations: slope of segment CD equals 2 minus 3 all over 1 minus 2 slope of segment DE equals 1 minus 2 all over 4 minus 1 Jonah sets up the following equations: slope of segment CD equals 2 minus 3 all over 1 minus 2 slope of segment EF equals 3 minus 1 all over 5 minus 4 Who is on track to get the correct answer and why?
A.)Carla is on the right track because she is finding the slopes of the opposite sides to check for right angles.
B.) Carla is on the right track because she is finding the slopes of consecutive sides to check for right angles.
C.) Jonah is on the right track because he is finding the slopes of the opposite sides to check for right angles.
D.)Jonah is on the right track because he is finding the slopes of consecutive sides to check for right angles.

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

CDEF is a quadrilateral having vertex C(2, 3), D(1, 2), E(4, 1), F(5, 3).

To prove that the given quadrilateral has a right angle, we will use the property of perpendicular lines.

m_1\times m_2=-1

where m_1 and m_2 are the slopes of the consecutive sides of the quadrilateral.

Since CD and DE are the consecutive sides of the quadrilateral, Carla is on the right track by finding the slopes of CD and DE.

Since Jonah is finding the slopes of opposite sides so he will not be able to use the property of perpendicular lines.

Option (B) will be the answer.

sam had 70 erasers and rulers. after giving away 1/3 of his erasers and 10 rulers, he had an equal number of erasers and rulers
Radda [10]

Answer:

36 erasers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of erasers be e

let number of rulers be r

We can write:

e + r = 70

and

After giving away, he has

Erasers:  2/3e

Rulers:  r - 10

These two are equal, so we can write and solve:

2/3e = r - 10

2/3e + 10 = r

Putting this in initial equation, we have:

e + (2/3e + 10) = 70

5/3e + 10 = 70

5/3 e = 60

e = 36

And rulers is:

r = 2/3(36) + 10 = 34

Hence, he had 36 erasers in the beginning

What is the greatest common factors of 60w,34w^2,and 24w^4
andrew11 [14]

Answer: 2w

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor could also be referred to as the Highest common factor. Now

60w, 34w² and 24w⁴

Now let concert each to its factors

60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × w

34w² = 2 × 17 × w × w

24w⁴ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × w × w × w × w

Therefore H.C.F or the greatest common factor

G.C.F = 2 × w

= 2w
