A railway engine starts shunting wagons by first going 1000m north of railway station. It reverses and travels 1250m and then it

again moves 600m north. Finally moving 800m south it comes to rest. How far is the engine from the station and in which direction?

Answer:

450m South

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance traveled Northward :

1000m + 600m = 1600m Northward

Total distance traveled Southward :

1250m + 800m = 2050m

The Displacement :

Southward - Northward

2050m - 1650m

= 450m

Since, it covers more distance towards the south, then, direction is southward

450m South

crimeas [40]

The '68-95-99.7' rule says

-About 68% of values fall within one standard deviation of the mean.

-About 95% of the values fall within two standard deviations from the mean.

-Almost all of the values — about 99.7% — fall within three standard deviations from the mean.

Here 31.4=29+2*1.2 26.6=29-2*1.2

Therefore, the probability

P(26.6

The required probability

Determine whether quadrilateral ABCD is a rhombus, a rectangle, a square, a parallelogram, or none. List all that apply. Explain
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

  • ABCD is a rhombus, and a parallelogram

==================================

<h3>Given </h3>

  • Points A(-6, - 1), B(4, - 6), C(2, 5), D(- 8, 10)

First, plot the points (see attached picture).

Then, connect all the points.

<h3>We see that:</h3>

  • Opposite sides are parallel,
  • Diagonals are perpendicular.

From our observation the figure is rhombus.

Let's confirm it with the following.

1) Find midpoints of diagonals and compare.

  • AC → x = (- 6 + 2)/2 = - 2, y = (- 1 + 5)/2 = 2
  • BD → x = (4 - 8)/2 = - 2, y = (- 6 + 10)/2 = 2

The midpoint of both diagonals is same (- 2, 2).

2) Find slopes of diagonals and check if their product is -1, this will confirm they are perpendicular.

  • m(AC) = (5 - (-1))/(2 - (-6)) = 6/8 = 3/4
  • m(BD) = (10 - (-6))/(-8 - 4) = - 16/12 = - 4/3

  • m(AC) × m(BD) = 3/4 * (- 4/3) = - 1

<u>Confirmed.</u>

So this is a rhombus and also a parallelogram but <u>not</u> rectangle or square, since opposite angles are not right angles.
