Answer:

  • 71 in House of Representatives
  • 17 in Senate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h and s represent the numbers in the House and Senate, respectively. Then we have ...

  h + s = 88

  h - s = 54

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (h +s) -(h -s) = (88) -(54)

  2s = 34 . . . . . simplify

  s = 17 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  h = 88 -17 = 71 . . . . find the other value using the sum equation

There were 71 females in the House of Representatives, and 17 females in the Senate.

Which of the following is the area of a quadrilateral with vertices at (-4,2),(1,2),(1,-3) and (-4,-3)
kow [346]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices are (-4,2),(1,2),(1,-3) and (-4,-3).

Plot these point on a coordinate plate. From the graph it is noticed that the given quadrilateral is a square.

Distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Use distance formula to find the side length.

AB=\sqrt{(1-(-4))^2+(2-2)^2}=\sqrt{5^2}=5

BC=\sqrt{(1-1)^2+(-3-2)^2}=\sqrt{(25}=5

Since both consecutive sides are equal therefore it is a square.

Area of a square is

A=a^2

Where, a is side length.

The side length of the square is 5. So, area of ABCD is

A=(5)^2

A=25

Therefore the area of quadrilateral is 25 units square. Option B is correct.

Quadrilateral EFGH is on a coordinate plane. Segment FG is on the line 3x − y = −2, and segment EH is on the 3x − y = −6. Which
liberstina [14]

Answer:

the slope of both lines are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following segment of the Quadrilateral EFGH on a coordinate  Segment FG is on the line 3x − y = −2,

segment EH is on the 3x − y = −6.

To determine their relationship, we can find the slope of the lines

For line FG: 3x - y = -2

Rewrite in standard form y = mx+c

-y = -3x - 2

Multiply through by-1

y = 3x + 2

Compare

mx = 3x

m = 3

The slope of the line segment FG is 3

For line EH: 3x - y = -6

Rewrite in standard form y = mx+c

-y = -3x - 6

Multiply through by-1

y = 3x + 6

Compare

mx = 3x

m = 3

The slope of the line segment EH is 3

Hence the statement that proves their relationship is that the slope of both lines are the same.

What is the value of x?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up according to the Triangle Proportionality Theorem:

\frac{3x}{4x}=\frac{3x+7}{5x-8}

Cross multiply to get

3x(5x-8)=4x(3x+7)

and simplify to get

15x^2-24x=12x^2+28x

Get everything on one side of the equals sign and solve for x:

3x^2-52x=0 and

x(3x-52)=0

By the Zero Product Property,

x = 0 or 3x - 52 = 0 so x = 17 1/3

What is the converse of the linear pairs theorem
marysya [2.9K]
The converse of a logicalstatement is a s tatement formed by reversing the parts of the statement.

For example, the logical statement "A implies B" has a converse of "B implies A"

The linear pairs theorem states that "<span>if two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary".</span>

The converse of the linear pairs theorem is therefore, "if two angles are suplementary, then they form a linear pair".
