Given:

The three vertices of a parallelogram are (-3,8), (4,5), (2,-5).

To find:

The fourth vertex of the parallelogram.

Solution:

Let the vertices of the parallelogram are A(-3,8), B(4,5), C(2,-5) and D(a,b).

We know that, diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. It means midpoints of both diagonals are same.

Midpoint formula:

Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

Two diagonals of ABCD are AC and BD.

Midpoint of AC = Midpoint of BD

\left(\dfrac{-3+2}{2},\dfrac{8-5}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{4+a}{2},\dfrac{5+b}{2}\right)

\left(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{4+a}{2},\dfrac{5+b}{2}\right)

On comparing both sides, we get

\dfrac{4+a}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}

4+a=-1

a=-1-4

a=-5

And,

\dfrac{5+b}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}

5+b=3

b=3-5

b=-2

Therefore, the coordinates of fourth vertex are (-5,-2).

Answer:

See below for answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

RP/RT =RQ/RS                  Given

∠R = ∠R

ΔPQR similar to Δ TSR      If the measures of two sides of a triangle are proportional to the measures of two corresponding sides of another triangle and their included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.

Dean loves rocks! He has 666 pieces of granite, 333 pieces of marble, 141414 pieces of sandstone, and 111 pieces of slate.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The ratio of sanstone to marble is... 141414 : 333

All you have to do is look at how much sandstone Dean has and how much marble he has, then put the amount of sandstone infront of the amount of marble because in the question it says what is the ratio of sandstone to marble and you see that sandstone is first.

Hope this helps! :)

Roman stands across from a flag pole.
tigry1 [53]
We have been given a right angled triangle, hypotenuse is known, and angle has been given. we need to find the adjacent side to the angle.

we use trigonometry ratios.
the ratio where we relate the hypotenuse and adjacent side is the cosine.
cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse 
where θ = 39°
hypotenuse - 17 m
adjacent side - x
we need to solve for x

cos 39° = x / 17
cos 39° = 0.77
0.7771 = x/17
x = 0.7771 x 17
x = 13.21 m
distance from Roman's feet to the base of the pole is 13.21
