Step-by-step explanation:

We only know 1 side, and that is the width of 4. We only have the diagonals at our side. Half of the diagonal is 5. As a result, the diagonal is 10. I want you to imagine a triangle that has a base of 4 and a hypotenuse of 10. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find b, or the height.

a² + b² = c²

4² + b² = 10²

16 + b² = 100

100 - 16 = 84

b² = 84

b = √84

b ≈ 9.165

Now we know the length of the rectangle, which is about 9.165. Multiply that by 4 to get the area.

9.165 * 4

36 + 0.4 + 0.24 + 0.020

36.4 + 0.24 + 0.02

36.64 + 0.02

36.66 u²

The area of rectangle RSTU is about 36.66 units squared.

How do you find the measure of angle b?

Ierofanga [76]

The answer is b)35 because those angles are supplementary which means their sum is 180.

so 180+145 = 35

67. The line contains the point (4,0) and is parallel to the line defined by 3x = 2y.

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

Parallel lines will always have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

1) Determine the slope of the parallel line

Organize 3x = 2y into slope-intercept form. Why? So we can easily identify the slope, m.

$3x = 2y$

Switch the sides

$2y=3x$

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{3}{2} x\\y=\frac{3}{2} x$

Now that this equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily identify that $\frac{3}{2}$ is in the place of m. Therefore, because parallel lines have the same slope, the parallel line we're solving for now will also have the slope $\frac{3}{2}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

Plug in the given point, (4,0)

$0=\frac{3}{2} (4)+b\\0=6+b$

Subtract both sides by 6

$0-6=6+b-6\\-6=b$

Therefore, -6 is the y-intercept of the line. Plug this into $y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$ as b:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

I hope this helps!

So to solve for the value of a variable in an equation, you would need to isolate x on one side. The first thing you have to do is multiply 2 and (x + 7) together, which can be rewritten as 2(x) + 2(7). After multiplying, your equation would be: $2x+14+3x=12$ , or A.

So the rule with multiplying exponents with the same base is to add the exponents together, and the rule with dividing exponents with the same base is to subtract the exponents. Your equation will be simplified as such:

$4^{(3+4)-9}\\ 4^{7-9}\\ 4^{-2}$

Now the rule with converting negative exponents into fractions is $x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}$ . In this case, 4^-2 would turn into $\frac{1}{4^2}$ , or C, which is your final answer.
