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.

Compute the odds in favor of obtaining a number divisible by 5 in a single roll of a die.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

1/6 or 16.7% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

A die has 6 sides, and there is only one side with a number divisible by 5, which is the number 5.

So, the probability of rolling a number divisible by 5 is 1/6.

= 1/6 or 0.167

Find the value of x for mAB=34 and mCD=25 (The figure is not drawn to scale.)

Alexus [3.1K]

<h3>Answer: 29.5 degrees</h3>

==============================================

Explanation:

Add up the arc measures and divide by 2 to get the angle formed by the two chords.

angle AOB = (arc AB + arc CD)/2

angle AOB = (34 + 25)/2

angle AOB = 59/2

angle AOB = 29.5 degrees

Describe a real-world situation that the graph could represent. Then describe the possible values for each variable

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$Speed=distance/time$ i.e. relation between speed-distance-time is one such situation that can be modeled using graph

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many real world examples that can be modeled using graph. Graphs are represented on co-ordinate planes, so any real world example that can be represented by use of linear equation can be represented onto a graph.

One such example, is speed-distance-time relation. Uniform speed can be represented on a graph as shown in figure.

So, the equation for speed is represented by equation as follows:

$Speed=distance/time$

So, if we take distance on y axis and time on x axis with points as (distance,time)

(0,0) ==> $v=0/0=0$

(1,2) ==> $v=1/2=0.5$

(2,2) ==> $v=2/2=1$

the following points 0,0.5,1 will be plotted on graph. Similarly, more values can be plotted by assuming values for distance and time.
