24kx = 6
kx = 6/24
kx = 1/4
x = 1/4/k
x = 1/4k
Answer: A) X = 1/4k or the first option.
Answer:
Natalie is 13 years old, while Fred is 28 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that if you add Natalie’s age and Fred’s age, the result is 41, and if you add Fred’s age to 3 times Natalie’s age, the result is 67, to find how old Fred and Natalie are, the following calculation must be performed:
N + F = 41
3N + F = 67
(67 - 41) / 2 = N
26/2 = N
13 = N
13 x 3 + F = 67
39 + F = 67
F = 67 - 39
F = 28
28 + 13 = 41
Therefore, Natalie is 13 years old, while Fred is 28 years old.
3 x 2 = 6
The bookcase will be 6 feet high
Answer: C) 12.2
================================================
Explanation:
We have a known adjacent side (10) and an unknown hypotenuse (x). The cosine rule ties the two sides together.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(35) = 10/x
x*cos(35) = 10
x = 10/cos(35)
x = 12.2077458876146 approximately
x = 12.2

Answers:
- Part A) There is one pair of parallel sides
- Part B) (-3, -5/2) and (-1/2, 5/2)
====================================================
Explanation:
Part A
By definition, a trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides. The other opposite sides aren't parallel. In this case, we'd need to prove that PQ is parallel to RS by seeing if the slopes are the same or not. Parallel lines have equal slopes.
------------------------
Part B
The midsegment has both endpoints as the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.
The midpoint of segment PS is found by adding the corresponding coordinates and dividing by 2.
x coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (-4+(-2))/2 = -6/2 = -3
y coord = (y1+y2)/2 = (-1+(-4))/2 = -5/2
The midpoint of segment PS is (-3, -5/2)
Repeat those steps to find the midpoint of QR
x coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (-2+1)/2 = -1/2
y coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (3+2)/2 = 5/2
The midpoint of QR is (-1/2, 5/2)
Join these midpoints up to form the midsegment. The midsegment is parallel to PQ and RS.
