Answer:

  q = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

When the quadratic has roots p and r, it can be factored as ...

  (x -p)(x -r) = x² -(p+r)x +pr

So, the sum of the roots is 14, and their difference is 6. This lets us find the roots from ...

  p + r = 14

  p - r = 6

  2p = 20 . . . add the two equations

  p = 10

  r = 14 -p = 4

The value of interest is then ...

  q = pr = (10)(4)

  q = 40

__

The graph shows the roots to be 4 and 10, as we found.

Juliette [100K]
The length of the radius of the cylinder is 2 units.

The lateral surface area of a cylinder = <span>2πrh</span>
where, r = base radius
            h = height of cylinder
Now, height of cylinder = 2r units
          
⇒ 16 π =  2×π×r×<span>h
</span>⇒ 16 π =  2×π×r×2r
⇒  r^{2} = 4
⇒ r = 2 units
Thus, radius is 2 units.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

if you ABCD is a parallelogram.Prove: m∠A + m∠B + m∠C + m∠D = 360˚By the definition of a parallelogram, AD∥BC and AB∥DC. Using, AD as a transversal, ∠A and ∠ are same-side interior angles, so they are . By the definition of supplementary, m∠A + m∠D = 180. Using side as a transversal, ∠B and ∠C are same-side interior angles, so they are supplementary. By the definition of supplementary, m∠B + m∠C = 180. So, m∠A + m∠D + m∠B + m∠C = 180 + 180 by the property. Simplifying, we have m∠A + m∠B + m∠C + m∠D = 360˚.1) D2) Supplementary3) BC4) Addition,

then really, it would be
