Find the length of dm in the given fig.​

Answer:

DM=12

Step-by-step explanation:

(Let the point where the altitude from D intersects AB be called as point E.) First, let's find the area of parallelogram ABCD. The area of a parallelogram is simply b*h=bh, where b is the parallelogram's base and h is the parallelogram's height. If we let AB and DE be the base and height respectively, since we are already given their lengths, we know that the area of parallelogram ABCD will be AB*DE=15*8=120.

Now, how does this information matter, you might ask? Well, we can take either AB <em>or </em>CB to be the base and either DE or DM to be the height. In this case, let's take the latter two options, as we are looking to find the length of DM.

Therefore, we know that the area of parallelogram ABCD can also be found by calculating CB*DM. Since we know the values of the area and CB, we can write the following equation to solve for DM:

Area = CB*DM

120=10*DM (Substitute Area=120 and CB=10 into the equation)

\frac{120}{10}=\frac{10*DM}{10} (Divide both sides of the equation by 10 to get rid of DM's coefficient)

12=DM (Simplify)

DM=12 (Symmetric Property of Equality)

Hope this helps!

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

x(x-3)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

GCF=x

2. Factor out the GCF and simplify.

x(x^{2} -x-6)

3. Factor x^{2} -x-6.

Which two numbers add up to -1 and multiply to -6?

<u>-3 and 2</u>

Rewrite the expression using the numbers above.

(x-3)(x+2)

4. Done!

NemiM [27]
The probability that all marbles are yellow is
(7/20) (7/20) (7/20) = 343/8000

We are given
x = 2 and 3
u = 2.5
s = 0.5

Getting the z score
z = (2 - 2.5) / 0.5 and (3 - 2.5)/ 0.5
z = -1 and 1
The percentage is 
1 - 0.1557 = 81.5%

When multiplying numbers a negative number will make a positive into a negative. Yet if multiplied again by another negative it will cancel out or make it positive again. Seeing as answer c has only one negative it's the correct answer.
