Sally, John & Mary had a discussion about Quadrilateral PQRS. Sally claimed that the figure represents an isosceles trapezoi

d, John claimed that it is a non-isosceles trapezoid, while Mary said it wasn’t a trapezoid at all.
Explain how you would prove who is correct.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the lenghth of the left and right sides using the distance formula to determine if the trapeziod is isosceles

d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}

PS=\sqrt{(2-1)^2+(0-4)^2}

PS=\sqrt{17}

QR=\sqrt{(13-9)^{2}+(8-10)^{2}}

QR=\sqrt{20}

Since PS\neq QR (the sides are not equal) this is not an isosceles trapezoid

Sally is incorrect and John is possibly correct.

Find the slope of the top and bottom sides to determine if this is a trapezoid.

m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

SR:  m= \frac{0-8}{2-13}

m=\frac{8}{11}

PQ:  m=\frac{4-10}{1-9}

m=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}

since mSR\neq mPQ (the slopes are not equal) the top and bottom sides are not parallel therefore this is not a trapezoid. Hence, John is incorrect, and Mary is ultimately correct.

What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to −x+2y=4 and passes through the point (−2, 1) ?
Elza [17]

Answer:

y=-2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since our equation is in standard form Ax+By=C we must first manipulate the equation so that we have it in the slope-intercept form such that y=mx+b.  Therefore:

-x+2y=4\\2y=x+4\\\\y=\frac{x+4}{2}\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+2

Therefore, our slope is 1/2 and our y-intercept is 2.  Now in order to determine a perpendicular line to the one stated above we must then get the negative inverse of our slope meaning \frac{1}{2}=-2 (negative reciprocal).  Now we must use the point slope formula:

y=m(x-x_1)+y_1

Where m is the slope, x1 is -2 and y1 is 1 (because of the ordered pair given). And so:

y=-2(x-(-2))+1\\\\y=-2(x+2)+1\\\\y=-2x-4+1\\\\y=-2x-3

Therefore, the line that is perpendicular to -x+2y=4 is y=-2x-3.

Find the product 0 . 67 × 0 .3
quester [9]
0.067 =67/100
0.3 =3/10
0.67 * 0.3 = 67/100 *3/10
(67*3) / (100*10)
=201/1000
=0.201

Solve:
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

convert 3 1/3 to an improper fraction

3*3 = 9

9+1 = 10

10/3

multiply the numerator by 4

(10/3) * 4 = 40/3

40/3 = 13 1/3
