Answer:

The correct option is 4.

4) Doing two distance formulas to show that adjacent sides are not the same length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram is a quadrilateral which has opposite sides equals and parallel. Example of a parallelogram are rhombus, rectangle, square etc.

We can prove that a quadrilateral MNOP is a parallelogram. If we find the slopes of all four sides and compare those of the opposite ends, same slopes would indicate the opposite sides are parallel, hence the quarilateral is a parallelogram. We can also find the distance of two opposing sides, and slopes of twp opposing sides to determine whether it is a parallelogram or not. The most difficult approach is that diagonals bisect each other at same point.

However, using only two distance formulas will not give us enough information to determine whether a side is parallel or not.

The diagram below shows an Isosceles triangle. Label the base angles and the vertex

Dmitry [639]

The base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal

The base angles are 15 degrees, while the vertex angle is 150 degrees

The base angles are given as:

Base = (6a- 3) and (a + 12)

So, we have:

$\mathbf{6a -3 =a + 12}$

Collect like terms

$\mathbf{6a -a =3 + 12}$

$\mathbf{5a = 15}$

Divide both sides by 5

$\mathbf{a = 3}$

Substitute 3 for a in Base = (6a- 3),

$\mathbf{Base = 6 \times 3 - 3}$

$\mathbf{Base = 18 - 3}\\$

$\mathbf{Base = 15}$

So, the base angle is 15 degrees.

The vertex angle is calculated using:

$\mathbf{Vertex=180 -2 \times Base}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Vertex=180 -2 \times 15}$

$\mathbf{Vertex=150 }$

Hence, the vertex angle is 150 degrees

Carl ran around the track 3 more times than Daria and 2 fewer times than Erin. When they were done they added up the number of l

Paul [167]

Answer:

Total laps = 10d

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = Carl's laps

d = Daria's laps

e = Erin's laps

c = 3d

c = e/2

c + d + e = totals laps

We can insert 3d in place of c in the third equation

3d + d + e = total laps

Also, e/2 equals 3d

e/2 = 3d

Multiply both sides by 2

(e/2 = 3d)2

e = 6d

Insert the new e

3d + d + 6d = 10d = totals laps

John works as a tutor for an hour and as a waiter for an hour. This month, he worked a combined total of hours at his two jobs.

liberstina [14]

Correct Question:

John works as a tutor for $12 an hour and as a waiter for $8 an hour. This month, he worked a combined total of 86 hours at his two jobs.

Let be the number of hours John worked as a tutor this month. Write an expression for the combined total dollar amount he earned this month.

Answer:

Total hours = 86

Let t is the hours he spent on tutoring

then (86-t) is hours spent on waiting

Let Y is the total amount in dollars which is required .

Now;

y = (tutoring hours x 12$) + (waiting hours x 8$)

Y = 12t + 8(86-t)
