A line segment connecting any two opposite Vertex of a quadrilateral

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

As applied to a polygon, a diagonal is a line segment joining any two non-consecutive vertices. Therefore, a quadrilateral has two diagonals, joining opposite pairs of vertices. For any convex polygon, all the diagonals are inside the polygon, but for re-entrant polygons, some diagonals are outside of the polygon.

Sarita showed the steps to solving the equation.

shtirl [24]

The option that explains Sarita's mistake is Sarita’s solution is correct. She made an error in her verification.

<h3>What was Sarita's mistake?</h3>

The given equation is: 5(x - 3) + 7(x + 4) = 73

In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:

1. Apply the Distributive property:

5x - 15 + 7x + 28 = 73

2. Add similar terms together:

12x + 13 = 73

3. Combine similar terms:

12x = 73 - 13

4. Add similar terms

12x = 60

5. Divide both sides of the equation by 12

x = 60 / 12

x = 5

In order to verify the answer, substitute for x in the given equation :

5(5 - 3) + 7(5 + 4) = 73

5(2) + 7(9) = 73

10 + 63 = 73

73 = 73

Samuel bought a jacket for $16 in January. The cost of the jacket increased to $24 in September. What percent of the original pr

garri49 [273]

Write a proportion first, change over original, like this:
8 x
16 100
(I got 8 because the difference between 24 and 16 is 8 and I got 100 because percents are out of 100.)
Cross multiply 8 by 100 and you get 800.
Divide 800 by 16 and you get 50.
It changed by 50%

A right triangle has a hypotenuse length of 12, and one side length of 9. find the missing side length. do the side lengths form

Rina8888 [55]

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

c - a hypotenuse

a, b - legs

We have: a = 9 and c = 12. Substitute:

$9^2+b^2=12^2$

$81+b^2=144$ <em>subtract 81 from both sides</em>

$b^2=63\to b=\sqrt{63}\\\\b=\sqrt{9\cdot7}\\\\b=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt7\\\\ \boxed{b=3\sqrt{7}}$

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b and c, such that

$a^2+b^2=c^2$ .

$b=3\sqrt{7}$ is not positive integer.

<h3>The sides of the triangle do not form a pythagorean triple.</h3>
