Answer:

114 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, so

AB = CD , that is

13x - 7 = 5x + 9 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

8x - 7 = 9 ( add 7 to both sides )

8x = 16 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 2

Then

5x + 9 = 5(2) + 9 = 10 + 9 = 19

3x = 3(2) = 6

The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as

A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height ), thus

A = 19 × 6 = 114 units²

What is the median for 76,84,93,67,82,and 76

Lapatulllka [165]

First arrange the numbers from least to greatest:

67, 76, 76, 82, 84, 93

The median is the middle number. But since we have two numbers that are in the middle we have to find the average of them.

76 + 82 = 158
158/2 = 79

So your answer is 79

Answer:

A. $y=-1.2x+59$

B. 42.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Given:

Newspapers circulated in year 2004, $y_{1}=59\textrm{ million}$

Newspapers circulated in year 2014, $y_{2}=47\textrm{ million}$

Let the time $x$ start at the year 2004. So, $x_{1}=0$

For the year 2014, $x_{2}=2014-2004=10$

Therefore, linear relationship between newspapers circulated and time passed since 2004 is given as:

$y-y_{1}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}(x-x_{1})\\y-59=\frac{47-59}{10-0}(x-0)\\y-59=-\frac{12}{10}x\\y=-1.2x+59$

Therefore, the equation describing the relationship is: $y=-1.2x+59$

Part B:

For the year 2018, $x=2018-2004=14$

Plug in 14 for $x$ in the above equation and solve for $y$ . This gives,

$y=-1.2(14)+59\\y=-16.8+59\\y=42.2$

Therefore, in the year 2018, the newspaper circulation will be 42.2 million.
