Answer:
Yes, parallelogram OABC is a rectangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertices of a parallelogram are O(0,0), A(-4,1), B(-3,5) and C(1,4).
A parallelogram is a rectangle if its any two adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other.
product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.
Formula for slope is
Using the formula we get
It means OA is perpendicular to AB.
Since two adjacent sides are perpendicular, therefore the given parallelogram OABC is a rectangle.
Answer:
x = 5, x =
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
+
= 3
=
=
=
( cross- multiply )
10(x² - 6x + 8) = 3(2x² - 10x + 10) ← distribute both sides
10x² - 60x + 80 = 6x² - 30x + 30 ← subtract 6x² - 30x + 30 from both sides
4x² - 30x + 50 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )
2x² - 15x + 25 = 0 ← in standard form
(2x - 5)(x - 5) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x =
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
