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 :)

If the area of a circle is 121pie square units, what is the diameter

velikii [3]

Since you are given the area, we can solve for radius with this equation:
$A_c = \pi r^2$
$r = \sqrt{ \frac{A_c}{ \pi } } = \sqrt{ \frac{121 \pi }{ \pi } } = \sqrt{121} = 11$

The radius is 11, so the diameter must be 2 times that, which is 22. With the correct units, the answer is 22 units²

Help!Write the equation in slope- intercept form of the line that passes through (−1, 11) and is parallel to the graph of y = −8

love history [14]

Answer:

y = -8x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

plug in the point and the slope into the slope intercept formula (y=mx+b)

the slope will be the same since you want the line to be parallel

11 = -8(-1) +b now solve for b

11 = 8 + b

-8 -8
