Answer:

This question is not as hard as it seems.

Let the first number = x.

The other number will be x - 16.

The sum of both the number is 52.

So, x+x-16 = 52

Which would simplify to 2x -16 = 52.

When I add 16 to both sides, it would give me 2x = 68.

Then, divide both sides by 2.

This leaves us with x = 34.

Since we have x, now x-16 would be 34-16 = 18.

The two numbers are 34 and 18, this answer is correct because both of them add up to give me 52.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

Question

The sum of two numbers is 52 . The smaller number is 16 less than the larger number.What are the numbers?

Answer:

18 and 34

Step-by-step explanation:

[(52 - 16) : 2] + 16 =

(36 : 2) + 16 =

18 + 16 =

34

-----------------------

Check

34 - 18 = 16

34 + 18 = 52

the answer is good

What is the independent variable?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are two types of variables we need to focus on, the first is the dependent variable, the second is the independent variable ( which is the one in question). You asked about it in relation to mathematics, although even across the board, in science they both really mean the same thing. Here's an example, say you are taking a test, and the rubric for grading the test is 5 points (p) for every question (q) answered correctly. So given that information you can conclude that (p) is equal to 5 x the amount of questions you got right (p = 5q). The amount of points in this equation relies on how many questions you get right, you can't logically say that question (q) is equal to 5 points (p), because the questions don't depend on the points, the points depend on the amount of questions you get right. So that means since the points (p) depend on the # of questions you answered correctly, it is the dependent variable, there for by process of elimination you're independent variable is (q) since they don't rely on the points, the points rely on the questions. It all boils down to how well you can recognize this, and how complicated your question is, but hopefully this provided some insight.

The coordinates of polygon ABCD are A(-4,-1), B(-2,3), C(2,2), and D(4,-3). Use these coordinates to complete the sentences belo

oee [108]

Answer:

The perimeter of polygon ABCD, to the nearest thousandth units is

22.227 units

The perimeter of polygon ABCD', to the nearest thousandth, would be 20.980 units

The area of polygon ABCD' is 19.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates forming the polygon are

A (-4,-1), B(-2,3), C(2,2), and D(4,-3)

The perimeter then is given by the sum of the length of the sides as follows;

Length of line between two X and Y points distance, xi and yj apart is

length XY = $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

Therefore, the length between points AB is

length AB = $\sqrt{(-4 - (-2))^2+(-1-3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(-4 +2)^2+(-4)^2} = \sqrt{-2^2+-4^2} = \sqrt{20}$ = 4.472 units

Similarly, length BC is given by

Length BC = $\sqrt{(-4)^2+1^2} = \sqrt{17}$ = 4.123 units

Length CD = $\sqrt{(-2)^2+5^2} = \sqrt{29}$ = 5.385 units

Length DA = $\sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2} = \sqrt{68}$ = 8.246 units

The perimeter is equal to;

length AB + Length BC + Length CD + Length DA

= 4.472 + 4.123 + 5.385 + 8.246 = 22.227 units

If the point D is moved up 2 units and left 1 unit we have

D' = x-1, y+2 where x and y are the coordinates of point D

D(4, -3) → D'((4-1), (-3+2)) = D'(3, -1)

The length D'A = $\sqrt{(7)^2+(0)^2} = \sqrt{49}$ =7 units

The perimeter of polygon ABCD'

length AB + Length BC + Length CD + Length D'A

= 4.472 + 4.123 + 5.385 + 7 = 20.980 units.

The area is given by the determinant of the 3 by 3 matrix using Cramer's Rule as follows

$S_{\bigtriangleup}$ = $(\frac{1}{2})|x_1y_2+x_2y_3+x_3y_1-x_1y_3-x_2y_1-x_3y_2|$

= $(\frac{1}{2})|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1) +x_3(y_1-y_2)|$

Triangle ABC we have

A(-4,-1)

B(-2,3)

C(2,2)

$S_{{\bigtriangleup}ABC}$ = $(\frac{1}{2})|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1) +x_3(y_1-y_2)|$

$=(\frac{1}{2})|(-4)(3-2)+(-2)(2-(-1)) +2((-1)-3)|$

= $=(\frac{1}{2})|-4-6 -8|= 9 units^2$

Triangle ACD'

A(-4,-1)

C(2,2)

D'(3, -1)

$S_{{\bigtriangleup}ACD'}$ = $(\frac{1}{2})|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1) +x_3(y_1-y_2)|$

$=(\frac{1}{2})|(-4)(2+1)+(2)(-1+1) +3((-1)-2)| = \frac{21}{2}$ = 10.5 units²

Area of polygon = $S_{{\bigtriangleup}ABCD'}$ = $S_{{\bigtriangleup}ABC}$ + $S_{{\bigtriangleup}ACD'}$ = (9 + 10.5) units²

Area of polygon ABCD' = 19.5 units².
