Answer:

A rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The quadrilateral ABCD is a rhombus;

The length of the sides of the rhombus = 12 inches

The lengths of the sides of a rhombus are equal

The opposite interior angles of the rhombus are equal

The length of each midpoint from the vertex = 12 in./2  = 6 in.

Therefore, we have;

The line joining the midpoints form a quadrilateral with the length of the opposite sides equal

The sum of the interior angles of the rhombus = 180°

From the diagram created with Microsoft Visio, we have;

4·a + 4·b + 360 = 4 × 180 = 360 + 360

4·a + 4·b = 360

a + b = 90°

We have;

The interior angles of the quadrilateral formed = x

a + b + x = 180° Sum of angles on a straight line

∴ x = 180° - (a + b) = 180° - 90° = 90°

x = 90°

Therefore, the interior angles of the quadrilateral formed = 90°

The quadrilateral formed having equal opposite sides, and all interior angle of 90° each is a rectangle

X≥1 x≤7 y≥-1/3x+6
Goshia [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i am unsure of what you actually need, but i want to help you.

if you were to set the boundaries of the feasibility region it would be as follows:

as points

A(1, 17/3)   B(7, 11/3)   C(7, infinity)   D(1, infinity)

as graphs

y=-1/3x+6 where 1≤x≤7

x=1

x=7
