Answer:

Jim sold 340 reams of paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of three is a way to solve proportionality problems between three known values ​​and one unknown. . That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three. Remember that proportionality is a constant relationship or ratio between different magnitudes.

If the relationship between magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the direct rule of three should be applied as follows, a, b and c the known values ​​and x the unknown:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: x=\frac{c*b}{a}

In this case, the rule of three can be applied as follows: if 1 box of paper contains 10 reams, 34 boxes of paper will have how many reams?

amount of reams=\frac{34 boxes*10 reams}{1 box}

amount of reams= 340 reams

<u><em>Jim sold 340 reams of paper.</em></u>

If every pair of consecutive angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary, then the quadrilateral must be a parallelogram.
Luda [366]
Answer: true.

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, it has two sets of opposite sides that are congruent. If you follow the picture attacheed, you see that AD equals BC and AB equals DC.
There is a theorem that says that If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, it has<span> consecutive angles that are supplementary. Suplementary means that, those 2 angles together, form 180º.</span>

Determine the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the lines r​(t) equalsleft angle6​t,1 plus3 ​t,4tright angle and R​(
Lynna [10]

\vec r(t)=\langle6t,1+3t,4t\rangle

\vec R(s)=\langle2+s,-8+3s,-12+4s\rangle

Take the derivatives of each to get the tangent vectors:

\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}=\langle6,3,4\rangle

\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec R(s)}{\mathrm ds}=\langle1,3,4\rangle

Take the cross product of the tangent vectors to get a vector that is normal to both lines:

\langle6,3,4\rangle\times\langle1,3,4\rangle=\langle0,-20,15\rangle

The two given lines intersect when \vec r(t)=\vec R(s):

\langle6t,1+3t,4t\rangle=\langle2+s,-8+3s,-12+4s\rangle\implies t=1,s=4

that is, at the point (6, 4, 4).

The line perpendicular to both of the given lines through the origin is obtained by scaling the normal vector found earlier by \tau\in\Bbb R; translate this line by adding the vector \langle6,4,4\rangle to get the line we want,

\vec\rho(\tau)=\langle6,4,4\rangle+\langle0,-20,15\rangle\tau

\boxed{\vec\rho(\tau)=\langle6,4-20\tau,4+15\tau\rangle}
