Answer:

c = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>**I assume that side WX in my diagram (attached as an image below) is the value of C that we're looking for. ALSO, the sizes and lengths of the parallelograms are NOT to scale.**</u>

If two parallelograms are similar, that means the lengths of the corresponding sides have EQUAL ratios.

PL corresponds with WZ. To get from 15 to 45, you would multiply 15 by 3, so the ratio of the legnths of the corresponding sides between these two parallelograms is 1:3.

With that in mind, we can apply this ratio to find WX.

We know that AP has a length of 7, so we will multiply that by 3, getting a value of 21, and 7:21 ratio is the same as 1:3.

c = 21

Line m has the equation y = 1/2x - 4

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

As the slopes of both lines 'm' and 'n' are the same.

Therefore, we conclude that the equation x-2y=4 represents the equation of the line 'n' if lines m and n are parallel to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept of line equation is

$y=mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the equation of the line m

y = 1/2x - 4

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx + b

Therefore,

The slope of line 'm' will be = 1/2

We know that parallel lines have the 'same slopes, thus the slope of the line 'n' must be also the same i.e. 1/2

Checking the equation of the line 'n'

$x-2y=4$

solving for y to writing the equation in the slope-intercept form and determining the slope

$x-2y=4$

Add -x to both sides.

$x - 2y + (-x) = 4+(-x)$

$-2y = 4 - x$

Divide both sides by -2

$\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{-x+4}{-2}$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-2$

comparing ith the slope-intercept form of the line equation

Thus, the slope of the line 'n' will be: 1/2

As the slopes of both lines 'm' and 'n' are the same.

Therefore, we conclude that the equation x-2y=4 represents the equation of the line 'n' if lines m and n are parallel to each other.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! I have a few of the explanations but I'm not sure if I need more please suggest some thank you

Answer:

For tingle #1

We can find angle C using the triangle sum theorem: the three interior angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees. Since we know the measures of angles A and B, we can find C.

$C=180-(A+B)$

$C=180-(21.24+27.14)$

$C=131.62$

We cannot find any of the sides. Since there is noting to show us size, there is simply just not enough information; we need at least one side to use the rule of sines and find the other ones. Also, since there is nothing showing us size, each side can have more than one value.

For triangle #2

In this one, we can find everything and there is one one value for each.

- We can find side c

Since we have a right triangle, we can find side c using the Pythagorean theorem

$b^2=a^2+c^2$
