Mr. Whittaker’s science class uses tide gauges to measure annual variations in water levels at different parts of a river, and t

hen compares those variations to the average annual trend. Matea recorded that the water level in one part of the river fell 1.05 millimeters per year for 2.48 years. This data will be compared to the average annual trend, which shows the water level rising 1.8 mm/year. Which number represents the rate at which the water level fell? Which number should the rate be multiplied by to find the total variation in water level?

The isosceles trapezoids, ABCD and EFGH, are similar quadrilaterals. The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, = 6 centime

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Part A) see the explanation

Part B) see the explanation

Part C) The perimeter of trapezoid ABCD is 32 centimeters and the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH is 48 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

The isosceles trapezoids, ABCD and EFGH, are similar quadrilaterals. The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, GH = 6 centimeters, AD = 8 centimeters, and AB is three times the length of DC

Part A) Write a similarity statement for each of the four pair of corresponding sides

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

The corresponding sides are

AB and EF

BC and FG

CD and GH

AD and EH

so

$\frac{AB}{EF}=\frac{BC}{FG}=\frac{CD}{GH}=\frac{AD}{EH}$

Part B) Write a congruence statement for each of the four pair of corresponding angles.

we know that

If two figures are similar, then its corresponding angles are congruent

The corresponding angles are

∠A and ∠E

∠B and ∠F

∠C and ∠G

∠D and ∠H

so

∠A ≅ ∠E

∠B ≅ ∠F

∠C ≅ ∠G

∠D ≅ ∠H

Part C) Determine the perimeter for each of the isosceles trapezoids

we have

The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, GH = 6 centimeters, AD = 8 centimeters, and AB is three times the length of DC

step 1

Find the measure of CD

Remember that

The ratio between corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

$z=\frac{2}{3}$

so

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{CD}{GH}}$

we have

$GH=6\ cm$

substitute

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{CD}{6}}\\\\CD=4\ cm$

step 2

Find the measure of AB

Remember that

AB is three times the length of DC

so

$AB=3DC$

$DC=CD=4\ cm$

substitute

$AB=3(4)=12\ cm$

step 3

Find the measure of BC

Remember that in an isosceles trapezoid, the legs are equal

so

BC=AD

we have

$AD=8\ cm$

therefore

$BC=8\ cm$

step 4

Find the perimeter of trapezoid ABCD

$P=AB+BC+CD+AD$

substitute the values

$P=12+8+4+8=32\ cm$

step 5

Find the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z ---> the scale factor

x ----> the perimeter of trapezoid ABCD

y ----> the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH

so

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{2}{3}$

$x=32\ cm$

substitute

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{y}$

$y=32(3)/2=48\ cm$

therefore

The perimeter of trapezoid EFGH is 48 centimeters

Quadrilateral PAID is a rectangle whose diagonals have the endpoints P(-3, -2)I(4, -7) and A(4, -2)D(-3, -7). Find the diagonals

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$(0.5,-4.5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rectangle has diagonals have the endpoints P(-3, -2) ,I(4, -7) and A(4, -2) ,D(-3, -7)

The diagonals of the rectangle bisect each other so we use the midpoint formula to find their point of intersection.

The midpoint formula is;

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

We use any pair of endpoints of the diagonals to find the point of intersection.

Using A(4, -2) ,D(-3, -7)

$(\frac{4+-3}{2},\frac{-2+-7}{2})$

$(\frac{1}{2},\frac{-9}{2})$

or

$(0.5,-4.5)$
