Answer:

The given statement is FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some trapezoids are rectangles - This is false.

This is false because a trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides whereas a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides is called a parallelogram.

And a parallelogram with right angles is called a rectangle.

So, a trapezoid cannot be a rectangle.

Hey there! :)

The answer is false.

Trapezoids have ONLY 1 pair of parallel sides.

Rectangles have 2 pairs of parallel sides

Hope this helps :)

What is the slope intercept from for 16x+9y=40

Doss [256]

Answer:

$y = (- \frac{16}{9})x + \frac{40}{9}$ is the slope intercept form for 16x+9y=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation is 16 x + 9 y = 40

Now, the slope intercept form of an equation is y = mx + c,

here m = slope of the equation, b = y - intercept

So, now 16x + 9y = 40 on simplification gives

9y = 40 - 16x

or $y = \frac{40 - 16x}{9} = \frac{40}{9} - \frac{16x}{9}$

or, $y = (- \frac{16}{9})x + \frac{40}{9}$ is the slope intercept form of the given equation.

Here, m = (-16/9) and y- intercept = 40/9

Two boys are running track. They decide to start in the northwest corner and go opposite directions around the rectangular track

Mariulka [41]

= <u>187.3 yards</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The set-up will represent a triangle whereby the :

Width = Height = 150 yards
Diagonal = Hypotenuse = 240 yards
Length = Base = ?

${a}^{2} = {c}^{2} - {b}^{2} \\ {a}^{2} = {240}^{2} - {150}^{2} \\ {a}^{2} = 57600 - 22500 \\ \sqrt{ {a}^{2} } = \sqrt{35100} \\ a = 187.3yards \: (rounded \: off \: to \: 1dp)$

In trip 1 you drove 104 miles in 4 gallons; in trip 2 you drove 78 miles how many gallons did you use in trip 2

BlackZzzverrR [31]

First do 104/4 which equals which equals 26
so you can drive 26miles on one gallon

then do 78/26 which equals 3

so you used 3 gallons of gas on trip 2

The table shows whether members in a fishing group caught fish or did not catch fish and whether they fished from a boat or from

MariettaO [177]

The given scenario falls under the category of conditional probability. There are a total of 56 people in the fishing group described above. The probability that the a person caught a fish and fished from a boat is 24/56. The probability that he fished from a boat is (24+11)/56. For the conditional probability in this item is,
P = (24/56) / ((24+11)/56) = 24/35 = 0.69
