Answer:

24 and 21 are the two numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

let n represent the unknown number

let n-3 represent the second unknown number

n+n-3 = 45

2n-3=45

2n=45+3

2n=48

n=48/2

n=24

n-3=21

CHECK: 24+21=45

.˙. the first number is 24 and the second number with a difference of 3 is 21

What is the measurement of Angle O in parallelogram LMNO. When angle L is (x+40) and angle O is (3x)

I am Lyosha [343]

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.

This means that the four angles of the parallelogram are:

$L = x+40,\quad M = 3x,\quad N = x+40,\quad O = 3x$

Moreover, the sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is 180(n-2). So, the sum of the interior angles of a parallelogram is 360.

This means

$L+M+N+O = 360 \iff 2(x+40)+2(3x) = 2x+80+6x = 360 \iff 8x = 280 \iff x = 35$

And since $O=3x$ , we have $O=3\cdot 35=105$

Find the distance of the following points from the x axis: P(3,0) , Q(0,-3) , R(12,-4) , S(-4,-3)

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Distance of point P(3,0) from x axis is zero as this point lies on x axis.

distance of point Q is 3.

Distance of point R is 4.

Distance of point S is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point P already lies on x axis as its y coordinate is zero so its distance from x axis is zero

distance of points Q , R and S is the absolute value of their y coordinates that is 3 , 4 and 3 respectively.
