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

Nanci needs at least $140 for her vacation this summer. She already has $25 and she is selling homemade bracelets for $3.00 each
Charra [1.4K]

Please look at the screenshot below, for some reason Brainly won't let me post my answer.

What I mean about "not fully written" is its impartial. It didn't ask us something like "find how many bracelets she needs to sell"

When truckers are on long-haul drives, their driving logs must reflect their average speed. Average speed is the total distance
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

0.500 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

<em><u>Distance</u></em>

  • Total Distance on the highway = 3hr * 60 miles / hr = 180 miles
  • Distance in the city = 20 miles
  • Total Distance = 180 + 20 = 200 miles

<em><u>Time</u></em>

  • Time on the highway = 3 hours
  • Time in the city = x

Formula

d /t = r

Solution

  • Average rate = 57.14
  • Total Distance / Total Time = average rate
  • 200 / (3 + x) = 57.14                               Multiply both sides by 3 + x
  • 200 = 57.14 * (3 + x)                               Remove the brackets
  • 200 = 57.14*3 + 57.14x                           Multiply the factors on the right
  • 200 = 171.42 + 57.14x                              Subtract 171.42 from both sides.
  • 200 - 171.42 = 171.42 - 171.42 + 57.14x   So the subtraction
  • 28.58 = 57.14x                                         Divide by 57.14
  • 28.57/57.14 = x
  • x = 0.500 hour                                        Answer
