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.

Shelly is trying to improve her running time for a track race she ran the first race in 43.13 seconds her time was 43.1 seconds
lesantik [10]
I we consider her running times as an arithmetic series with common difference:
43.13 - 43.1 = -.03/2 = -.015, Shelly's time in the fourth race will be 43.1 - .015 = 43.085.
