<span>The sentence "If it has three sides, then it is not a rectangle" is the only one of the proposed answers that is logically equivalent to the statement: "If it is a rectangle, then it does not have three sides."</span>
A)
y varies inversely as (x-1).
Implies y α 1/(x -1)
y = k/(x-1). Where k is constant of proportionality.
y*(x - 1) = k
when y = 12, x = 1/2
12*(1/2 - 1) = k
12*(0.5 - 1) = k
k = 12*(-0.5) = -6.
k = -6.
Equation connecting x and y
y*(x - 1) = k, recall k = -6
y*(x - 1) = -6
b)
when x = a.
y*(x - 1) = -6
y*(a - 1) = -6
y = -6 / (a -1)
when x = 2a.
y*(2a - 1) = -6
y = -6 / (2a -1)
Difference in y is 1.8
-6 / (2a -1) - -6/(a - 1) = 1.8
-6 / (2a -1) + 6/(a - 1) = 1.8
6 / (a -1) - 6 /(2a -1) = 1.8
6( 1/(a-1) - 1/(2a - 1)) = 1.8
1/(a-1) - 1/(2a - 1) = 1.8/6
1/(a-1) - 1/(2a - 1) = 0.3
((2a - 1) - (a - 1)) / ((a-1)(2a -1)) = 0.3
(2a - 1 -a + 1) /((a-1)(2a -1)) = 0.3
a / (2a² - 3a + 1) = 0.3
a/0.3 = 2a² - 3a + 1
10a/3 = 2a² - 3a + 1
2a² - 3a + 1 = 10a/3
2a² - 3a -10a/3 + 1 = 0
2a² - 19a/3 + 1 = 0
6a² - 19a + 3 = 0
This is a quadratic expression which can be factored.
6a² - 18a - a + 3 = 0
6a(a - 3) - 1(a - 3) = 0
(6a - 1)(a - 3) = 0
6a - 1 = 0 a = 1/6
a - 3 = 0 a = 3.
a = 3 or 1/6
Since a is positive integer, a = 3 only.

Answer: D) 95</h3>
===============================================================
Explanation:
First, let's calculate angle BYC. This is the angle formed by the chords that subtend the arcs mentioned. This angle faces or is aimed toward the direction of the arcs. To find this angle, we'll average the arc measures like so:
angle BYC = (arcAD + arcBC)/2
angle BYC = (50+120)/2
angle BYC = 170/2
angle BYC = 85 degrees
Then we'll use the idea that angles BYC and DYC are supplementary (aka they form a straight 180 degree angle)
angleBYC + angleDYC = 180
angleDYC = 180 - angleBYC
angleDYC = 180 - 85
angleDYC = 95 degrees
which is why the answer is choice D.
Answer:
2) Slope=10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
2. Use the equation y2-y1/x2-x1. In this line, I took the points (-4,-5) and (-1,5). Plug this into the equation to get 5--5/-1--4. Simplify this to get 5+5/-1+4. Simplify this to get 10/3. Therefore, the slope is 10/3
4. The equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. This means that the equation will be 8/3x-5.
