A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of opposite, equal and parallel sides. A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of opposite, equal and parallel sides BUT ALSO forms right angles between adjacent sides.
Please consider the complete question.
The base of a solid oblique pyramid is an equilateral triangle with a base edge length of 18 inches. What is the height of the triangular base of the pyramid?
First of all, we will draw an equilateral triangle.
Since the given triangle is equilateral triangle, so all sides will have same length that is 18 inches.
We know that height of an equilateral triangle is 
, where a is side length of equilateral triangle.
Therefore, the height of the given equilateral triangular base will be 
inches and option B is the correct choice.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure out which pairs lie on -2x+4y = 16, we can plug the x and y values into the equation to see if they work. We need all pairs of x and y values in a table to work for the answer to be correct
A)
x=-4, y=2
-2x+4y = -2 * (-4) + 4 * (2) = 8 + 8 = 16. This works. Note that two negatives multiplied together make a positive, and 4*2 = 8
x=0, y=8
-2x + 4y = -2 * (0) + 4 * (8) = 0 + 32 = 32. This does not work, as 32 is not 16. Note that anything multiplied by 0 is 0
B)
x=8, y=0
-2x+4y = -2 * (8) + 4 * (0) = -16. This is not equal to 16. Note that a negative multiplied by a positive is still a negative
x=2, y=3
-2x + 4y = -2 * (2) + 4 * (3) = -4 + 12 = 8. This is not equal to 16.
C)
x=0, y=4
-2x + 4y = -2 * (0) + 4 * (4) = 0 + 16 = 16. This works
x=4, y=6
-2x + 4y = (-2)* (4) + 4 * (6) = -8 + 24 = 16. This works. As both pairs of values in the table works, this is the correct answer. Nevertheless, we can check D to make sure.
D)
x=-2, y=5
-2x+4y = -2 * (-2) + 4 * (5) = 4 + 20 = 24. This is not 16
x=-8, y=0
-2x+4y = -2 * (-8) + 4 * (0) = 16. This works, but the other pair does not work, so D is incorrect
I would say the answer is A
