$x-\ Tanya\\
y-\ May\\\\
x=62in\\

HELP MARKING BRAINLIEST EXTRA POINTS !!

Scrat [10]

Answer:

The quadrilateral is a rectangle
$Perimeter=8\sqrt{2} \,\,Unit$
$Area=6\,\,sq.unit$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

$A=(0,0)\\B=(1,1)\\C=(4,-2)\\D=(3,-3)$

Now,

$Slope\,\,for\,\,AB=\frac{1-0}{1-0} =1\\\\Slope\,\,for\,\,CD=\frac{-3+2}{3-4} =1\\\\Slope\,\,for\,\,AD=\frac{-3-0}{3-0} =-1\\\\Slope\,\,for\,\,BC=\frac{-2-1}{4-1} =-1\\\\So,AB||CD\,\,and\,\,AD||BC$

$AB=\sqrt{(1-0)^2+(1-0)^2}=\sqrt{2}\\BC=\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(-2-1)^2}=3\sqrt{2}\\CD=\sqrt{(3-4)^2+(-3+2)^2}=\sqrt{2}\\AD=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(-3-0)^2}=3\sqrt{2}\\\\So,\,\,AB=CD,AD=BC\\The\,\,quadrilateral\,\,is\,\,a\,\,rectangle$

$Perimeter=2*(AB+AD)=2*(BC+CD)\\=2*(\sqrt{2}+3\sqrt{2})=8\sqrt{2} \,\,Unit$

$Area=AB*AD=BC*CD=\sqrt{2} *3\sqrt{2}=6\,\,sq.unit$

Hope you have understood this.....

On a school trip, the ratio of the teachers to students is 2:21. The ratio boys to girls is 4:3. If there are 18 girls girls on

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say B is the number of boys and T is the number of teachers.

T / (B + 18) = 2/21

B/18 = 4/3

Solve the second equation for B.

B = 24

Plug into the first equation to find T.

T / (24 + 18) = 2/21

T = 4

1 lb 0.454 kg About how many kilograms are in 21 pounds?

Semmy [17]

Answer:

21 Pounds =

9.5254398 Kilograms

(rounded to 8 digits)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Pounds : The pound or pound-mass (abbreviations: lb, lbm, lbm, ℔[1]) is a unit of mass with several definitions. Nowadays, the most common is the international avoirdupois pound which is legally defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. A pound is equal to 16 ounces. </em>
<em>Kilograms : The kilogram (or kilogramme, SI symbol: kg), also known as the kilo, is the fundamental unit of mass in the International System of Units. Defined as being equal to the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram (IPK), that is almost exactly equal to the mass of one liter of water. The kilogram is the only SI base unit using an SI prefix ("kilo", symbol "k") as part of its name. The stability of kilogram is really important, for four of the seven fundamental units in the SI system are defined relative to it.</em>
