3 0

Answer:

See the paragraph proof below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadrilateral JKLM is given as a parallelogram. By a theorem, opposite sides JK and LM are congruent (1). By the definition of parallelogram, opposite sides KJ and ML are parallel. By the theorem on alternate interior angles, angles KJL and MLJ are congruent (2). Segments JN and PL are given as congruent (3). Using the three statements of congruence labeled above (1), (2), and (3), we now prove that triangles JKN and LMP are congruent by SAS. Sides of the triangles KN and PM are congruent by CPCTC. Sides of quadrilateral KNMP are given as parallel. Therefore, quadrilateral KNMP is a parallelogram by the theorem: If two sides of a quadrilateral are both parallel and congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

d(m) = (1.05 miles/min)*m

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 2 5/8 miles by 3 1/2 minutes to obtain the unit rate (miles per minute):

2 5/8 miles

--------------------

3 1/2 minutes

First, convert 2 5/8 miles and 3 1/2 minutes to improper fractions:

21/8 miles 21/8 miles

------------------ = ---------------------- = 21/20 miles/minute

5/2 minutes 20/8 minutes

The constant rate is (21/20) miles/minute, or 1.05 miles/minute.

Thus, the equation representing the distance, d, that the car travels in m minutes is

d(m) = (1.05 miles/min)*m

What is the height of the cone below?

melisa1 [442]

The formula of a volume of a cone:

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}Bh[/rex]B - area of a baseh - heightWe have[tex]V=90\ cm^3,\ B=18\ cm^2$

Substitute:

$90=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot18\cdot h\\\\90=6h\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 6}\\\\15=h\to h=15$

<h3>Answer: 15 cm.</h3>

NASA launches a rocket at t = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea level, as a function of time is

balu736 [363]

If h is m above the ocean and your trying to find when the rocket reaches that ocean… as the function gives the height above the ocean at a given time, when the height equals 0 the rocket will have reached the ocean so solve for t when h=0. working out in the photo. i got t=48.88seconds

ASAP: Hose A fills a water truck at the constant rate of 60 gallons every 15 minutes. Hose B fills a water truck at a constant r

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hose A:

60 gallons every 15 minutes mean:

60 / 15 = 4 gallons per minute

For Hose B:

If we put x = 1, we can find gallons (y) per minute (x)

y = 3 x

y = 3(1)

y = 3

That means 3 gallons per minute

Thus, the rate of Hose A is 1 gallon per minute more than the rate of Hose B. Option C is correct.
