Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider trapezoid ABCD with bases AB and DC. In these trapezoid triangles AOB and COD are similar, because thet have three pairs of congruent angles (angles AOB and COD are congruent as vertical angles, angles OAB and OCD are congruent as corresponding angles and angles OBA and ODC are congruent as corresponding angles too). Then

\dfrac{AO}{OC}=\dfrac{BO}{OD}=\dfrac{AB}{CD}.

If \dfrac{AO}{AC}=\dfrac{3}{4} and AC=AO+OC, then

\dfrac{AO}{AC}=\dfrac{AO}{AO+OC}=\dfrac{3}{4}\Rightarrow 4AO=3(AO+OC),\\ \\4AO=3AO+3OC,\\ \\AO=3OC\Rightarrow \dfrac{AO}{OC}=\dfrac{3}{1}.

Since BO=6 cm, then

\dfrac{AO}{OC}=\dfrac{BO}{OD}\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{1}=\dfrac{6}{OD},\\ \\OD=2\ cm.

Thus, the length of the diagonal BD is 2+6=8 cm.

Sati [7]

Answer:

\frac{2}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A car starts with a dull tank of gas

1/7 of the gas has been used around the city.

With the rest of the gas in the car, the car can travel to and from Ottawa three times.

Question asked:

What fractions of a tank of gas does each complete trip to Ottawa use?

Solution:

Fuel used around the city = \frac{1}{7}

Remaining fuel after driving around the city = 1 - \frac{1}{7}

                                                                         =    \frac{7 - 1}{7}  = \frac{6}{7}

According to question:

As from the rest of the gas in the car that is \frac{6}{7}, the car can complete 3 trip to Ottawa  which means,

By unitary method:

The car can complete 3 trip by using = \frac{6}{7} tank of gas.

The car can complete 1 trip by using =  \frac{6}{7} \div 3

                                                             =\frac{6}{7} \times\frac{1}{3}

                                                             =  \frac{6}{21}

                                                             = \frac{2}{7} tank of gas

Thus, \frac{2}{7} tank of gas used for each complete trip to Ottawa.

I REALLY NEED HELP!!! If someone can answer this quickly and correctly I will give them Brainliest. 1. What is the function rule
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

y= -4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the slope is -4/1 which is the same as 4 and 3 is the y-intercept.

Here's the work;

We can just use the first two coordinates which are (0,3) and (1,-1) to get from the x-value 0 to 1 we add 1. and to get from the y-value 3 to -1 we subtract 4. Therefore the slope is -4 and the y- intercept (when x is zero) is 3. Pop that into slope intercept form to get y=-4x +3

Hope that helps and have a great day!

Identify the maximum and minimum values of the function y = 10 cos x in the interval [-2π, 2π]
grigory [225]
Hello,

-1<=cos x <=1
==>-10<=10*cos x <=10
max y=10 if x=0 +2kπ ==>x=0,-2π,2π
min y=-10 if x=π+2kπ ==>x=-π,π
