Answers:

  • Part A) There is one pair of parallel sides
  • Part B) (-3, -5/2) and (-1/2, 5/2)

====================================================

Explanation:

Part A

By definition, a trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides. The other opposite sides aren't parallel. In this case, we'd need to prove that PQ is parallel to RS by seeing if the slopes are the same or not. Parallel lines have equal slopes.

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

Part B

The midsegment has both endpoints as the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.

The midpoint of segment PS is found by adding the corresponding coordinates and dividing by 2.

x coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (-4+(-2))/2 = -6/2 = -3

y coord = (y1+y2)/2 = (-1+(-4))/2 = -5/2

The midpoint of segment PS is (-3, -5/2)

Repeat those steps to find the midpoint of QR

x coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (-2+1)/2 = -1/2

y coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (3+2)/2 = 5/2

The midpoint of QR is (-1/2, 5/2)

Join these midpoints up to form the midsegment. The midsegment is parallel to PQ and RS.

9x-y=5<br> 7x-6y=5<br> Solve the system by the substitution method
qwelly [4]
  9x - y = 5
7x - 6y = 5

Solve both equations for one variable. I'll solve for y.

9x - y = 5            Subtract 9x from both sides
      -y = -9x + 5   Divide both sides by -1
       y = 9x - 5

7x - 6y = 5   Subtract 7x from both sides
      -6y = -7x + 5   Divide both sides by -6
          y = \frac{7}{6}x - \frac{5}{6}

Since both equations equal y, you can set them equal to each other and solve for x.

9x - 5 =<span> \frac{7}{6}x - \frac{5}{6}   Multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate the fractions
54x - 30 = 7x - 5    Subtract 7x from both sides
47x - 30 = -5          Add 30 to both sides
       47x = 25          Divide both sides by 47
           x = </span>\frac{25}{47}

Now, plug that x-value into the x of either equation. I'll plug it into 9x - y = 5.

9x - y = 5   Plug in the x-value
9(<span>\frac{25}{47}) - y = 5   Multiply
</span>\frac{225}{47} - y = 5   Subtract <span>\frac{225}{47} from both sides
</span>-y = <span>0.21276595744 (I had to convert it to a decimal)   Divide both sides by -1
 y = -</span><span>0.21276595744

So, the answer to the system is (</span>0.53191489361, -<span>0.21276595744)</span>

Why are units of measure important when solving real-word problems?
dsp73
<h2>Answer:</h2>

In physics, we always measure quantities and compare them with a standard. That standard defines a unit of the quantity. Suppose you want to measure the length of a car, so you use a meter stick, which is the standard for measuring distances. Then, <em>why are units of measure important when solving real-world problems?</em> Well, because when solving problems that involve equations, they need to be dimensionally consistent, but what does it mean? it means that you can't add two terms having different units. For instance, you can't add apples with tables!
