Area of paralellogram=legnth times height

l=legnth
h=height
area=96

lh=96

h is 4 less than l
h=-4+l
sub
l(-4+l)=96
-4l+l^2=96
minus 96 both sides
l^2-4l-96=0
factor
(l-12)(x+8)=0
set to zero
l-12=0
l=12

l+8=0
l=-8, imossible, legnth cannot be negative, disreagard this soultion

legnth=12cm

The area of a parallelogram is height multiplied by base. we know the height is 4cm less than length and we want length. let's put everything we know in terms of equations:
l(h) = 96
h = l-4
l is the length and h is the height. now we just need to solve for l. since we don't care about h, we can substitute h= l-4 into lh = 96:
l(l-4) = 96
now we just have to solve for l:
l^2 - 4l - 96 = 0
(l - 12)(l+8) = 0
by the zero product property, either l-12 = 0 OR l+8 = 0. since l+8 = 0 gives l as a negative number, we know that can't be the solutions. therefore, l-12 = 0 and l = 12.

let me know if you have any questions!!!

Which defines a circle a. Two days with a common endpoint b. A piece of a line with two endpoints c. A piece of a line with one
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point that is co planar with one another and is also equidistant from a given point is a circle. We need it to be co planar, otherwise it would be 3-dimensional and create a sphere. And if they we not all equidistant, they would not make an even circle (it'd be an oval or another shape).

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2,-4) and (0,-4)
Arte-miy333 [17]

y = mx + b

To find the slope(m), you use the slope formula:

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

You plug in the points into the equation.

m = \frac{-4 - (-4)}{0 - 2}

m = \frac{-4+4}{0-2} = \frac{0}{-2} =0

The slope is 0

y = 0x + b

Any number multiplied by 0 is 0. So:

y = b

To find b, you plug in the y value of either of the points.

-4 = b

Your equation is:

y = -4 (This is a horizontal line)

Type a digit that makes this statement true.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

1, 3, 5, 7, or 9

Step-by-step explanation:

For 14, 213, 1__2 to be divisible by 4, the last two digits must be divisible by 4.

Using this knowledge, any odd single digit number would make the statement true.

14, 213, 112 ÷ 4 = 3, 553, 278

14, 213, 132 ÷ 4 = 3, 553, 283

14, 213, 152 ÷ 4 = 3, 553, 288

14, 213, 172 ÷ 4 = 3, 553, 293

14, 213, 192 ÷ 4 = 3, 553, 298

Hope this helped!
