The length of the shorter leg is √2

<h3>Pythagoras theroem</h3>

To get the length of the shorter leg, we will use the Pythagoras theorem. According to the theorem:

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

Given the following

Hyp = √4

Opposite = √2

Required

Adjacent side

Substitute into the formula

(√4 )^2 = 2 + adj^2

4 - 2 = adj^2

adj^2 = 2

adj = √2

Hence the length of the shorter leg is √2

Graph the points (-3,4) and (1,1). If you drew a line through the points, name three other points that would be on the line. How

Andrej [43]

The easiest way to solve this problem is to find the equation of the line joining these two points, then get the values of the points on this line.

We have first point (x1,y1) = (-3,4) and second point (x2,y2) = (1,1).
The equation of the line is y = mx + c
The slope (m) = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (1-4) / (1--3) = -0.75

Then we will use one of these points to get the value of c as follows:
y = mx + c
1 = -0.75 (1) + c ..............> c = 1.75

The equation of this straight line is:
y = -0.75 x + 1.75

Now to get points on this line, we will assume values for either x or y and calculate the other as follows:
1- For x = 0:
y = -0.75 (0) + 1.75 = 1.75
point is (0,1.75)
2- For y = 0:
0 = -0.75 x + 1.75 ..............> x = 2.334
point is (2.334,0)
3- For x = 2:
y = -0.75(2) + 1.75 = 0.25
point is (2,0.25)

If each quadrilateral below is a parallelogram,find the missing measures

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use parallelogram properties to answer our given problems.

(1) Since we know that opposite sides of parallelogram are congruent, therefore measure of side MN and side KN will be equal to the measure of their opposite sides.

LM=KN and KL=MN

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

45=KN and 31=MN

Property: The opposite angles of parallelogram are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary.

We have been given , therefore .

We will find measure of angle K by using supplementary angles.

By opposite angles of parallelogram .

(2) Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal. Therefore, CF=DE and FE=CD.

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

CF=10 and FE=15.

Property: Diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.

So CE will be 2 times CG and GD will be half the length of FD.

(3) Property: Opposite sides of parallelogram are congruent.

and

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

and

Property: Diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.

So SQ will be 2 times TQ and PT will be half the length of PR.

Property: The opposite angles of parallelogram are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary.

Alternate interior angles.

Opposite angles of parallelogram.

Therefore, measure of angle QRS will 74 degrees.

Alternate interior angles.

Now let us find measure of angle PSQ.

The image is not clear, so I am unable to answer the last two problems.
