Answer:

  • -2ab = -20
  • -3a + b = -13

Concept:

Here, we need to understand the idea of evaluation.  

When encountering questions that gave you an expression with variables, then stated: "If x = a, y = b, z = c" (a, b, c are all constants), this means you should substitute the value given for each variable back to the expression.

Solve:

<h2>PART I: Find the value of -2ab</h2>

<u>Given information</u>

a = 5

b = 2

<u>Given expression</u>

-2ab

<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>

-2 (5) (2)

<u>Simplify by multiplication</u>

=-10 (2)

=\boxed{-20}

--------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------

<h2>PART II: Find the value of -3a + b</h2>

<u>Given information</u>

a = 5

b = 2

<u>Given expression</u>

-3a + b

<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>

-3 (5) + (2)

<u>SImplify by multiplication</u>

=-15 + (2)

<u>Simplify by addition</u>

=\boxed{-13}

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

-2ab = -2(5)(2) = -20
-3a+b = -3(5)+2 = -13

Kite EFGH is inscribed in a rectangle where F and H are midpoints of parallel sides. The area of EFGH is 35 square units. What i
sasho [114]

*see attachment for the figure described

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given the figure attached below, let where FH and EG intercepted be K.

Since FH are midpoints of parallel lines, KE = KG = x.

Given that the area of the kite EFGH = 35 square units, and we know the length of one of the diagonals = HF = KF + KH = 2 + 5 = 7, we can solve for x using the formula for the area of a kite.

Area of kite = ½ × d1 × d2

Where d1 = KH = 7

d2 = EG = KE + KG = x + x = 2x

Area of kite EFGH = 35

THUS:

35 = ½ × 7 × 2x

35 = 1 × 7 × x

35 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7

35/7 = x

x = 5

puteri [66]

Answer:

B) ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. (The included side is the side between the vertices of the two angles)

In this case, angle U, side UY and angle Y are congruent to angle U, side UW and angle W
