Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a parallelogram the opposite sides will a have the same slope.

Using the diagram we see from the coordinates of A and B:

Slope of AB = (5 - -1)/(-1 - -5)

= 6/4

= 3/2.

In the same way

slope of CD = (2 - -4) / (1 - -3)

= 3/2.

So AB and CD can be shown to be parallel.

Similarly the lines BC and AD are parallel.

So the figure is a parallelogram

Finding the perimeter (counting the units between the points):

Perimeter = 2AB + 2BC

By Pythagoras:

AB = sqrt (6^2 + 4^2) = sqrt 52

BC = sqrt (3^2 + 2^2) = sqrt 13

So Perimeter = 2sqrt52 + 2sqrt13

= 4sqrt13 + 2 sqrt13

= 6sqrt13

or 21.63 unit^2 to 2 decimal places.

Area = sqrt52 * perpendicular distance between the lines AB and CD.

A bag contains 20 slips of paper Individually numbered. If a slip of paper and a letter in the word PENNSYLVANIA is chosen at ra

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

$P(M4\ n\ V) = 2.083\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Paper = 20 slips

Word: PENNSYLVANIA

Required

Determine P(Multiple of 4 and V)

The sample size of the 20 slips is:

$n(S) = 20$

The outcomes of multiples of 4 is:

$M4= \{4,8,12,16,20\}$

$n(M4) = 5$

So, the probability of multiples of 4 is:

$Pr(M4) = \frac{5}{20}$

$Pr(M4) = \frac{1}{4}$

The sample size of PENNSYLVANIA is:

$n(S) = 12$

The outcome of V is:

$n(V) = 1$

So, the probability of V is:

$P(V) = \frac{1}{12}$

So, the required probability is: P(Multiple of 4 and V)

$P(M4\ n\ V) = P(M4) * P(V)$

$P(M4\ n\ V) = \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{12}$

$P(M4\ n\ V) = \frac{1}{48}$

$P(M4\ n\ V) = 0.02083$

Express as percentage

$P(M4\ n\ V) = 0.02083 * 100\%$

$P(M4\ n\ V) = 2.083\%$

The perimeter of a rectangle garden is 364 feet. If the width of the garden is 85 feet, what is it length?

kherson [118]

P=2(L+W)

P=364

L=99

sub and find W

364=2(99+W)

divide both sides by 2

182=99+w

subtract 99 from both sides

83=W

w=83ft

NEED HELP URGENT!! How do I solve this on number 30?(please go through the steps)

tatiyna

x^2+6x-5=0

x^2=2x

2x+6x-5=0

2x+6x=8x

8x-5=0

+5 +5

(if you don’t know what I’m doing here is that I’m removing the negative 5 by putting a positive 5 since both of them make 0. Also the “x” always stay alone and the unit stays as the unit)

(I putted the positive under the 0 because what u do to the unit you need to do the same thing with the other.)

8x/8=5/8

(If ur lost here it means dividing.)

The answer

X=0.625

(btw I’m not really sure if this is right so um don’t really trust me in this lol)

Explain your answer !! <br> Have a nice day <br><br> Will give braisnlt

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The equations are:

$4H + 3P = 13.75$

$2H + 5P = 11.25$

$Hotdog = 2.50$

$Pretzel = 1.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

$H = hot\ dog$

$P =Pretzel$

For Tina:

$4H + 3P = 13.75$

For Doug:

$2H + 5P = 11.25$

Solving for the price of both items:

We have:

$4H + 3P = 13.75$ --- (1)

$2H + 5P = 11.25$ --- (2)

Multiply (2) by 2

2 * ( $2H + 5P = 11.25$ )

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

$4H + 10P = 22.50$ --- (3)

Subtract (3) from (1)

$4H + 3P = 13.75$

$4H + 10P = 22.50$

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

$4H - 4H + 3P - 10P = 13.75 - 22.50$

$3P - 10P = 13.75 - 22.50$

$-7P = -8.75$

Solve for P

$P = \frac{-8.75}{-7}$

$P = 1.25$

Substitute 1.25 for P in (2)

$2H + 5P = 11.25$

$2H + 5 * 1.25 = 11.25$

$2H + 6.25 = 11.25$

Collect Like Terms

$2H = 11.25-6.25$

$2H = 5$

Solve for H

$H = \frac{5}{2}$

$H = 2.50$
