<em>x = -2</em>
<em>y = -5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Properties of a Parallelogram</u>
- Two pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
- Two pairs of opposite sides are equal in length.
- Two pairs of opposite angles are equal in measure
- The diagonals bisect each other.
- Adjacent angles are supplementary.
- Each diagonal divides the quadrilateral into two congruent triangles.
Each diagonal is divided into two measures expressed with variables. Since diagonals bisect each other:
y + 23 = -4y - 2. And
-2x + 6 = x + 12
Solve the first equation. Adding 4y:
5y + 23 = - 2
Subtracting 23:
5y = -25
Dividing by 5:
y = -5
Solve the second equation. Subtracting x and 6:
-3x = 6
Dividing by -3:
x = -2
Solution:
x = -2
y = -5
STAN walk 10 km to the grocery store.
He stops then walks 10 km east back to his house.
Let us draw this situation to better understand the problem.
As you can see, Stan first walked to the grocery store and covered a distance of 10 km then he came back to the house from the grocery store and covered a distance of 10 km.
So the total distance is 10 + 10 = 20 km
On the other hand, notice that Stan is exactly at the point where he first started that is his house, therefore, the displacement is 0 in this case.
Recall that the displacement is a vector quantity so the direction of travel also matters.
From house to grocery store = 10 km
From the grocery store to house = -10 km
Overall displacement = 10 km - 10 km = 0 km
Therefore,
Distance = 20 km
Displacement = 0 km
