Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: write the equation in the form of a proportion

2 1/2 is to 4 as something is to 3

2 1/2 / 4 = x/3

Then, cross multiply 2 1/2 x 3 or

5/2 x 3/1 = 15/2

Next cross multiply 4•X= 4X

Write as 4X = 15/2

Divide both sides by 4.

4X/ 4 = 15/2 /4

x = 15/2÷ 4/1

Divide by changing the sign to multiplication and inverting 4/1 to 1/4 like this:. 15/2. × 1/4= 15/8

Finally, 15/8 simplifies to 1 7/8 cups

Identify the polygon with vertices A(5,0), B(2,4), C(−2,1), and D(1,−3), and then find the perimeter and area of the polygon. HE
inn [45]

Answer:

Part 1) The polygon is a square

Part 2) The perimeter is equal to 20\ units

Part 3) The area is equal to 25\ units^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

A(5,0), B(2,4), C(-2,1),D(1,-3)

Plot the points

see the attached figure

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

Find the distance AB

A(5,0),B(2,4)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(4-0)^{2}+(2-5)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{25}

AB=5\ units

Find the distance BC

B(2,4), C(-2,1)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(-2-2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{25}

BC=5\ units

Find the distance CD

C(-2,1),D(1,-3)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(-3-1)^{2}+(1+2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(3)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{25}

CD=5\ units

Find the distance AD

A(5,0),D(1,-3)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(-3-0)^{2}+(1-5)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{25}        

AD=5\ units

we have that

AB=BC=CD=AD

Find the distance BD (diagonal)

B(2,4),D(1,-3)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(-3-4)^{2}+(1-2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-7)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}

BD=\sqrt{50}\ units        

<em>Verify if the polygon is a square</em>

If the triangle BDA is a right triangle, then the polygon is a square

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

BD^{2}=AD^{2}+AB^{2}

substitute

(\sqrt{50})^{2}=5^{2}+5^{2}

50=50 -----> is true

so

The triangle BDA is a right triangle

therefore

The polygon is a square

<em>Find the Area of the polygon</em>

The area of a square is equal to

A=b^{2}

we have

b=5\ units

A=5^{2}=25\ units^{2}

<em>Find the perimeter of the polygon</em>

The perimeter of a square is equal to

P=4b

we have

b=5\ units

P=4(5)=20\ units
