Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Intersection point of diagonals is the mid point of each diagonal.So,

2x+8=6x

6x-2x=8

4x=8

x=8/4

x=2

Answer: x = 2

Concept:

There are many properties for parallelograms, however, here, we need to focus on one property about diagonals.

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Solve:

Given information

One side of the diagonal = 6x

The other side of diagonal = 2x + 8

Given expression deducted from the property of parallelogram

One side = Other side

Substitute values into the expression

6x = 2x + 8

Subtract 2x on both sides

6x - 2x = 2x + 8 - 2x

4x = 8

Divide 4 on both sides

4x / 4 = 8 / 4

$\boxed{x=2}$

Hope this helps!! :)

Generalize the pattern by finding a formula to calculate the nth term.

rosijanka [135]

It's an arithmetic sequence. The first term is 1 and the common difference is 4.

$a_1=1 \\
d=4 \\ \\
a_n=a_1+d(n-1) \\
a_n=1+4(n-1) \\
a_n=1+4n-4 \\
\boxed{a_n=4n-3} \\

Gribbles are small, pale white, marine worms that bore through wood. While sometimes considered a pest since they can wreck wood

Stells [14]

Answer with explanation:

As per given , we have

A sample of 50 gribbles finds an average length of 3.1 mm with a standard deviation of 0.72.

i.e. n= 50

Degree of freedom = n-1=49

$\overline{x}=3.1\ mm$

$s=0.72\ mm$

The point estimate of the population mean is equals to the sample mean.

i.e. The best estimate for the length of gribbles= 3.1 mm

Also, population standard deviation is unknown , then the confidence interval would be :

$E=t_{\alpha/2, df}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

For df= 49 and significance level of 0.05 , the t- value (using t-distribution table) would be :

$t_{0.05/2, 49}=t_{0.025, 49}= 2.010$

Now, Margin of error : $E=(2.010)\dfrac{0.72}{\sqrt{50}}$

$=0.204664986747\approx0.20$

95% confidence interval : $(\overline{x}-E,\ \overline{x}+E)$

$i.e.\ (3.1-0.20, 3.1+0.20)=(2.90,\ 3.30)$

Mrs handson has 2 pies for a party she Calculates that if she cut it evenly they will have 1/8 of a pie how many people at the p

RUDIKE [14]

The answer is 16, half of 32 1/8 x 1/2 = 2/16 divided by 2/2 = 1/8 but since you don't need to simplify only use the denominator of 2/16 or only need to multiply 8 and 2.
