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

I’m hoping this helps (but hopefully now you can give the brainliest to the person above)
I’m not very familiar with the square roots method but I believe you try and isolate the term that is squared.

What are the solutions of the following system? y=-2x^2 y=x-2
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

x = 0.781 , y = -1.219

and

x = -1.281 , y = -3.281.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both of the x terms are equal to y we can equate the x terms:-

-2x^2 = x - 2

2x^2 + x - 2 = 0

x = [-1 +/- √(1^2 - 4*2*-2) ] / 4

= ( - 1 +/- √(17)) / 4

= 0.781, -1.281.

When x = 0.781  y = 0.781 - 2 = -1.219.

when x = -1.281 , y = -1.281 - 2= -3.281.

A graph that uses vertical or horizontal bars to display data
Reptile [31]
A graph that uses vertical or horizontal bars to display data is called a bar graph. It is really useful in showing comparisons between multiple data groups. Also, it can be used to track changes over time. Hope this helped!

How do scientists infer the presence of black holes since they can't be directly<br> observed?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The presence of a black hole can be inferred through its interaction with other matter and with electromagnetic radiation such as visible light. Matter that falls onto a black hole can form an external accretion disk heated by friction, forming quasars, some of the brightest objects in the universe.
