Answer:

Suppose: M, N, P, Q are the midpoints of AB, BC, CD, AD respectively

=> MNPQ is the quadrilateral inside ABCD

connect B to D, ΔABD has : M is the midpoint of AB

                                               Q is the midpoint of AD

=> MQ is the midpoint polygon of ΔABD

=> MQ // BD and MQ = 1/2.BD (1)

ΔBCD has: N is the midpoint of BC

                   P is the midpoint of DC

=> NP is the midpoint polygon of ΔBCD

=> NP // BD and NP = 1/2.BD    (2)

from (1) and (2) => MQ // NP ( //BD)

                             MQ = NP  (=1/2.BD)

=> MNPQ is a parallelogram.​

=>  the quadrilateral inside ABCD is a parallelogram.​

A ramp leading into a building makes a 15o angle with the ground. the end of the ramp is 10 feet from the base of the building.
Oksanka [162]
We are tasked to solved for the length of the ramp having an inclination of 15 degrees with the ground and 10 feet from the end of the ramp to the base of the building of the ground. Using trigonometric properties, we have a formula given an angle and the its opposite sides which is,
sin(Angle)=opposite/hypothenuse
hypothenuse would be the distance or the length of the ramp.
so we have,
sin(15)=10/hypothenuse
Cross-multiply, we have,
hypothenuse=10/sin(15)
using scientific calculator having a DEG mode,
hypothenuse=38.63703
Rounding of in nearest tenth we get,
hypothenuse=38.6 ft
Therefore, the ramp is 38.6 ft long

Find a formula for the general term an of the sequence, assuming that the pattern of the first few terms continues. (assume that
Lilit [14]
Your sequence
  -8, 16/3, -32/9, 64/27
is a geometric sequence with first term -8 and common ratio
  (16/3)/(-8) = (-32/9)/(16/3) = -2/3

The general term an of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and ratio r is given by
  an = a1·r^(n-1)
For your sequence, this is
  an = -8·(-2/3)^(n-1)
