<span>The graph of y against x in inverse proportion is a rectangular hyperbola but I don't see at all how this knowledge/observation is any help in solving the problem.

Inverse proportion means that as x doubles y will halve and the equation is xy = k where k is some number. A good example of inverse proportion is speed and time taken over some fixed distance. In this case x could represent the speed (mph) and y the time (h) and then k is the distance in miles.

Since we know y=3 when x=2 we have xy = 6. Now it's easy to see when x=6 y=1.</span>

Prove that the figure is a parallelogram. If so, classify the parallelogram. Be specific and justify your answer.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a parallelogram the opposite sides will a have the same slope.

Using the diagram  we see from the coordinates of A and B:

Slope of AB = (5 - -1)/(-1 - -5)

= 6/4

= 3/2.

In the same way

slope of CD = (2 - -4) / (1 - -3)

= 3/2.

So AB and  CD can be shown to be parallel.

Similarly the lines BC and AD are parallel.

So the figure is a parallelogram

Finding the perimeter (counting the units between the points):

Perimeter = 2AB + 2BC

By Pythagoras:

AB =   sqrt (6^2 + 4^2) = sqrt 52

BC = sqrt (3^2 + 2^2) = sqrt 13

So Perimeter = 2sqrt52 + 2sqrt13

= 4sqrt13 + 2 sqrt13

= 6sqrt13

or 21.63 unit^2 to 2 decimal places.

Area = sqrt52 * perpendicular distance between the lines AB and CD.

mr. cuddy draws a triangle with a perimeter of 36cm. Principal Aranda says that the longest side measures 18 cm, How do you know
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

See the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u>The Triangle Inequality Theorem</u>, states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side

Let

a,b,c the lengths side of triangle

c is the greater side

The perimeter is equal to

P=a+b+c

P=36 cm

If c=18 cm

then

a+b=18

Applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem

a+b > c

18 > 18  ----> is not true

therefore

Principal Aranda is incorrect

The larger side cannot measure 18 cm

The largest side must be less than 18 cm
