He vertices of square pqrs are p -4,0 q 4,3 r 7,-5 and s -1,-18.Show that the diagonals of square pqrs are congruent perpendicul

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of the square given are P(-4, 0), Q(4, 3), R(7, -5) and, S(-1, -18)

For this diagonal to be right angle the slope of the diagonal must be m1=-1/m2

So let find the slope of diagonal 1

The two points are P and R

P(-4, 0), R(7, -5)

Slope is given as

m1=∆y/∆x

m1=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m1=-5-0/7--4

m1=-5/7+4

m1=-5/11

Slope of the second diagonal

Which is Q and S

Q(4, 3), S(-1, -18)

m2=∆y/∆x

m2=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m2=(-18-3)/(-1-4)

m2=-21/-5

m2=21/5

So, slope of diagonal 1 is not equal to slope two

This shows that the diagonal of the square are not diagonal.

But the diagonal of a square should be perpendicular, this shows that this is not a square, let prove that with distance between two points

Given two points

(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

Distance between the two points is

D=√(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²

For line PQ

P(-4, 0), Q(4, 3)

PQ=√(3-0)²+(4--4)²

PQ=√(3)²+(4+4)²

PQ=√9+8²

PQ=√9+64

PQ=√73

Also let fine RS

R(7, -5) and, S(-1, -18)

RS=√(-18--5)+(-1-7)

RS=√(-18+5)²+(-1-7)²

RS=√(-13)²+(-8)²

RS=√169+64

RS=√233

Since RS is not equal to PQ then this is not a square, a square is suppose to have equal sides

But I suspect one of the vertices is wrong, vertices S it should have been (-1,-8) and not (-1,-18)

So using S(-1,-8)

Let apply this to the slope

Q(4, 3), S(-1, -8)

m2=∆y/∆x

m2=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m2=(-8-3)/(-1-4)

m2=-11/-5

m2=11/5

Now,

Let find the negative reciprocal of m2

Reciprocal of m2 is 5/11

Then negative of it is -5/11

Which is equal to m1

Then, the square diagonal is perpendicular

Express the fractions 1/2, 3/16, and 7/8 with an LCD

Ket [755]

<span>Least Common Denominator (LCD) is the least number which all the denominators can divide without remainder. The given denominators are 2, 16 and 8. The least number 2, 16 and 8 will divide without remainder is 16. Therefore, to express the fractions 1/2, 3/12, and 7/8 with an LCD, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator of each of the fractions with a common factor that makes the denominator to be 16. Therefore, 1/2, 3/16 and 7/8 expressed with an LCD are (1 x 8) / (2 x 8), 3/16, (7 x 2) / (8 x 2) = 8/16, 3/16, and 14/16.</span>

Determine whether the three segment lengths will produce a triangle. Type yes or no in the space provided.

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

20 , 20 , 30 will produce a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study how to know if the lengths of the three segments

can formed a triangle

- It is a fact that in any triangle the sum of the smallest two sides

must be greater than the largest side

- Lets study some examples

# If the lengths of the three segments are 5 , 6 , 7

∵ 5 and 6 are the smallest

∴ 5 + 6 = 11

∵ 11 > 7 ⇒ the sum greater than the 3rd side

∴ 5 , 6 , 7 can formed a triangle

# If the lengths of the three segments are 5 , 7 , 12

∵ 5 and 7 are the smallest

∴ 5 + 7 = 12

∵ 12 = 12 ⇒ the sum equal the 3rd side

∴ 5 , 7 , 12 can not formed a triangle

# If the lengths of the three segments are 10 , 12 , 24

∵ 10 and 12 are the smallest

∴ 10 + 12 = 22

∵ 22 < 24 ⇒ the sum less than the 3rd side

∴ 10 , 12 , 24 can not formed a triangle

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The length of the three segments are 20 , 20 , 30

∵ 20 and 20 are the smallest

∴ 20 + 20 = 40

∵ 40 > 30 ⇒ the sum greater than the 3rd side

∴ 20 , 20 , 30 will produce a triangle
