In every rectangle, the two diagonals have the same length. If a quadrilateral's diagonals have the same length, that doesn't mean it has to be a rectangle, but if a parallelogram's diagonals have the same length, then it's definitely a rectangle.
So first of all, let's prove this is a parallelogram. The basic definition of a parallelogram is that it is a quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
So let's name the vertices as:

First pair of opposite sides:
<u>Slope:</u>

Second pair of opposite sides:
<u>Slope:</u>

So in fact this is a parallelogram. The other thing we need to prove is that the diagonals measure the same. Using distance formula:

So the diagonals measure the same, therefore this is a rectangle.
Well we know that 10 and 3/4 is equivalent to 10.75. If we divide the meat into 8 equal packages we have to divide 10.75 by 8. Dividing 10.75 by 8 gives us 1.34375 pounds of meat per package. If we take that, and multiply it by our given value of $3.40 per pound, we end up getting $4.57 a package.
3 times a # (# isn't specified, so you should use a variable): 3x
result is 5: =5
Put it all together: 3x=5
12a^-4 * b^-3
a= 2 and b = -1
Can you put 2 where it says a and -1 where it says b
10 months. First you subtract what is already in possession from what they need: $1450-$1200= $250 Then you would divide how much money is left to earn by how much money is gained every year: $250 divided by $25= 10 months Hope this helps!!
