Given:
The three vertices of a parallelogram are (-3,8), (4,5), (2,-5).
To find:
The fourth vertex of the parallelogram.
Solution:
Let the vertices of the parallelogram are A(-3,8), B(4,5), C(2,-5) and D(a,b).
We know that, diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. It means midpoints of both diagonals are same.
Midpoint formula:
Two diagonals of ABCD are AC and BD.
Midpoint of AC = Midpoint of BD
On comparing both sides, we get
And,
Therefore, the coordinates of fourth vertex are (-5,-2).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.
Working together, Sam and Charlie can change all light bulbs in the office building in 3 hours. It would have taken Charlie 8 hours to do the job alone. Which equation can be be used to solve for the rate 'r', for Sam to change all the light bulbs in the office building by himself.
Let Sam can change the bulbs in the office alone in 'r' hours
Per hour work done by Sam alone =
Let Sam takes he time to change the same bulbs in the office alone = 8 hours
Per hour work done by Sam =
Since, Sam and Charlie complete the work together in time = 3 hours
Therefore, per hour work done by both =
Equation for per work done by both will be,
Per hour work done by both = Per hour work done by Sam alone + Per hour work done by Charlie
Therefore, equation for the rate 'r' will be,
