Similar Polygons
Similar polygons are polygons whose corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional. In other words, Polygons that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size are called similar polygons.
Answer:
The value of x is 200 in the equation 1/5x - 2/3y = 30, when y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
equation: x - 2/3y = 30
when y = 15
<em>Plug in y:</em>
1/5x - 2/3(15) = 30
1/5x - 10 = 30
<em>add</em> 10 to both sides,
1/5x - 10 + 10 = 30 + 10
1/5x = 40
<em>multiply</em> both sides by 5
1/5x * 5= 40 * 5
x = 200
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If it is a parallelogram the opposite sides will a have the same slope.
Using the diagram we see from the coordinates of A and B:
Slope of AB = (5 - -1)/(-1 - -5)
= 6/4
= 3/2.
In the same way
slope of CD = (2 - -4) / (1 - -3)
= 3/2.
So AB and CD can be shown to be parallel.
Similarly the lines BC and AD are parallel.
So the figure is a parallelogram
Finding the perimeter (counting the units between the points):
Perimeter = 2AB + 2BC
By Pythagoras:
AB = sqrt (6^2 + 4^2) = sqrt 52
BC = sqrt (3^2 + 2^2) = sqrt 13
So Perimeter = 2sqrt52 + 2sqrt13
= 4sqrt13 + 2 sqrt13
= 6sqrt13
or 21.63 unit^2 to 2 decimal places.
Area = sqrt52 * perpendicular distance between the lines AB and CD.
Plug in x into the equation. Take x= -2 for example. Your equation is 2x-5, so instead of x, you put -2.
2(-2)-5 = -9
Your table is as follows:
(-2,-9)
(-1,-7)
(0,-5)
(1,-3)
