Decide whether quadrilateral ABCD with vertices 4(3,1), B(-1,-1) C(1,3), and D(5.5) is a rectangle, rhombus,square, or parallelo

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

By inspection, we can tell that there are no right angles, so we can determine it is not a square or a rectangle.

From the options, it is implied that it is a parallelogram, so to determine if it is a rhombus, we can determine if there is a pair of consecutive congruent sides.

By the distance formula,

$AB=\sqrt{(-1-3)^{2}+(-1-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{16+4}=2\sqrt{5}\\BC=\sqrt{(-1-1)^{2}+(-1-3)^{2}}=\sqrt{4+16}=2\sqrt{5}$

As AB=BC, there is indeed a pair of consecutive congruent sides, and thus the most specific classification is a <em>rhombus</em>

An executive invests 29,000, some at 8% and the rest at 7% annual interest. If he receives an annual return of $2,230, how much

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Amount invested in A (8%) = $20,000

Amount invested in B (7%) = $9,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount invested = $29,000

Interest rate A = 8% = 0.08

Interest rate B = 7% = 0.07

Annual return = $2,230

Find:

Amount invested in each

Computation:

Assume;

Amount invested in A = x

Amount invested in B = 29,000 - x

So,

Interest receive from A = x × 0.08

Interest receive from A = 0.08 x

Interest receive from B = (29000 - x) × 0.07

Interest receive from B = 2,030 - 0.07 x

Annual return = Interest receive from A + Interest receive from B

2,230 = 0.08 x + 2,030 - 0.07 x

x = 20,000

Amount invested in A = $20,000

Amount invested in B = 29,000 - $20,000

Amount invested in B = $9,000

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (1 -1) and (-2 8)

wel

The slope of the line that contains the points (1 -1) and (-2 8) is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope measures the steepness of a line. It is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change. If the line increasing, the slope is positive and if the line is decreasing the slope is negative. If the line is horizontal slope is zero and if the line is vertical slope is undefined.

Equation for slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

here y2= 8

x2=-2

y1=-1

x1=1

Substituting the following,

slope = (8+1)/(-2-1)

=9/-3

=-3

hence the slope is -3
