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.

Two boats leave a port at the same​ time, one going north and the other traveling south. The northbound boat travels 18 mph fast
shutvik [7]

Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Two boats leave a port at the same​ time, one going north and the other traveling south.

<u>Southbound boat rate</u> = 40 mph

The northbound boat travels 18 mph faster than the southbound boat.

<u>Northbound boat rate</u> = 40 + 18 = 58 mph

Two boats rate = 40 + 58 = 98 mph (this means they are apart 98 km after one hour)

Total distance = 980 miles

Total rate = 98 mph

Time =980:98=10 hours

In triangle XYZ, an exterior angle to angle X had measure 100° and an exterior angle to angle Z has measure 120°. Which side of
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Side YZ is the longest

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest side is across from the largest angle.

Angle X must be 80° because its exterior angle is 100° and they're supplementary. Angle Z is 60° for the same reason. Inside a triangle is always 180°, and since the measures of angle Z and X add up to 140°, so there's 40° left, meaning angle X is the largest.

Angle X is across from size YZ, so that's the longest
