Answer:

The value of BK is 3m and the value of CK is 2.4m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ABCD trapezoid

, BC=1.2m, AD=1.8m

, AB=1.5m, CD=1.2m

, AB∩CD=K.

Using the given information draw a figure.

Two sides of a trapezoid are parallel.

Since AB∩CD=K, therefore AB and CD are not parallel, because parallel line never intersect.

AD\parallelBC

\angle KBC=\angle KAD              (Corresponding angles)

\angle KCB=\angle KDA             (Corresponding angles)

By AA rule of similarity

\triangle KBC\sim \triangle KAD

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

\frac{KB}{KA}=\frac{KC}{KD}=\frac{BC}{AD}

\frac{x}{x+1.5}=\frac{y}{y+1.2}=\frac{1.2}{1.8}

\frac{x}{x+1.5}=\frac{1.2}{1.8}

\frac{x}{x+1.5}=\frac{2}{3}

3x=2x+3

x=3

The length of BK is 3 m.

\frac{y}{y+1.2}=\frac{1.2}{1.8}

\frac{y}{y+1.2}=\frac{2}{3}

3y=2y+2.4

y=2.4

The length of CK is 2.4 m.

, AB∩CD=K.

\frac{KB}{KA}=\frac{KC}{KD}=\frac{BC}{AD}

\frac{x}{x+1.5}=\frac{y}{y+1.2}=\frac{1.2}{1.8}

\frac{x}{x+1.5}=\frac{1.2}{1.8}

\frac{x}{x+1.5}=\frac{2}{3}

3x=2x+3

x=3

The length of BK is 3 m.

\frac{y}{y+1.2}=\frac{1.2}{1.8}

\frac{y}{y+1.2}=\frac{2}{3}

3y=2y+2.4

y=2.4

The length of CK is 2.4 m.

△XYZ is mapped to △X'Y'Z' using the rules (x, y)→(x+5, y−3) followed by (x, y)→(−x, −y) .
Yuri [45]

Given that △XYZ is mapped to △X'Y'Z' using the rules (x, y)→(x+5, y−3) followed by (x, y)→(−x, −y) .

We know that (x,y) => (x+h,y+k) type operation represents translation so rule (x, y)→(x+5, y−3)  will cause translation.

We know that (x,y) => (-x,-y) type operation represents rotation about origin so rule (x, y)→(−x, −y) will cause rotation.

So combining both results and comparing with given choices. we find that only 1st choice "△XYZ is congruent to △X'Y'Z' because the rules represent a translation followed by a rotation, which is a sequence of rigid motions."

is correct.

4% of _____ days is 56 days
schepotkina [342]
We have an equation: 56/? = 4/100

Cross multiply:
4*? = 56*100
⇒ ? = 56*100/4
⇒ ?= 1,400

4% of 1,400 days is 56 days~
