With any parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. This is another way of saying that they cut each other in half.

FH is one diagonal that is split into two equal pieces by the other diagonal EG.

The two parts of FH (KH and KF) are congruent to each other, so KH = KF. They combine back to FH


By the segment addition postulate
KH + KF = FH
KH + KH = FH .... KF has been replaced with KH (works because KF = KH)
2*KH = FH

Now use substitution
2*KH = FH
2*15 = FH .... replace KH with 15 (since KH = 15)
2*15 = 4x-2 ... replace FH with 4x-2 (since FH = 4x-2)

and solve for x
2*15 = 4x-2
30 = 4x-2
30+2 = 4x-2+2 ... add 2 to both sides
32 = 4x
4x = 32
4x/4 = 32/4 ... divide both sides by 4
x = 8

Answer: x = 8

Total distance covered=distance covered by walking+distance covered by jogging

=6/7+4/5=30+28/35

=58/35miles

How much farther did you walk than jog

=6/7-4/5

=30-28/35

=2/35miles

A box with an open top will be constructed from a rectangular piece of cardboard. The piece of cardboard is 10 inches wide and 1
kupik [55]

Answer:

Domain of the function is  { x : x∈R, x>0 } or (0,∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the dimensions of a rectangular piece of cardboard are

Length = 14 inch

Width = 10 inch

The box will be constructed by cutting out equal squares of side x at each corner and then folding up the sides. So the dimensions of the box are

Length = 14-2x inch

Breadth = 10- 2x inch

Height = x inch

The volume of cuboid box is

V=length\times breadth \times height

The volume function of the box is

V=(14-2x)\times (10-2x)\times x

V=(14-2x)(10-2x)x

The volume function is V=(14-2x)(10-2x)x.

It is a polynomial function and domain of a polynomial function is all real numbers.

Here, x represents the height of the box. So, value of x must be a positive real number.

Domain of the function is

Domain = { x : x∈R, x>0 }

It can be written as (0,∞).

Therefore, domain of the function is  { x : x∈R, x>0 } or (0,∞).
