Answer:

<h3>Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles.</h3><h3>The value of x is 8.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Quadrilateral CAMP below is a rhombus. the length PQ is (x+2) units, and the length of QA is (3x-14) units

From the given Q is the middle point, which cut the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves.

By the definition of rhombus, diagonals meet at right angles.

Implies that PQ = QA

x+2 = 3x - 14

x-3x=-14-2

-2x=-16

2x = 16

dividing by 2 on both sides, we will get,

x =\frac{16}{2}

<h3>∴ x=8</h3><h3>Since Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles we can equate x+2 = 3x-14 to find the value of x.</h3>

The line segment \overrightarrow{PA}=\overrightarrow{PQ}+\overrightarrow{QA}

\overrightarrow{PA}=x+2+3x-14

=4x-12

=4(8)-12 ( since x=8)

=32-12

=20

<h3>∴ \overrightarrow{PA}=20 units</h3>

Circle O has a circumference of approximately 250π ft. Circle O with diameter d is shown. What is the approximate length of the
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

250 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference of circle 'C' is defined as

C = 2πr

250π = 2πr

r = 250π/2π

r= 125

d = 2r = 2×125 = 250 .

diameter of the given circle is 250 ft

If nothing is known about the shape of the distribution of a quantitative variable, what percentage of data fall within 2 standa
Nezavi [6.7K]
<span>At least 75% of the data will fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean. This is tricky problem. Usually when you're dealing with standard deviation, you have a bell curve, or something close to a bell curve and for such a data distribution, there will be approximately 95% of the data within 2 standard deviations of the mean. But if you don't know that you have a bell curve, you have to fall back to Chebyshev’s Theorem, which states that at least 75% of the data points will fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean for any set of numbers.</span>

Which explains how to find the quotient of the division below? - 3 1/3 divided by 4/9 Write Negative 3 and one-third as Negative
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

its B

Step-by-step explanation:

cuz -3 1/3 would be turned into -10/3 by multiplying 3*3 which will give u 9 and adding 1 which is 10 then u put the 10 on top and keep the 3 as bottom.

and then flip the 4/9 which will turn into 9/4 so now u can multiple intead of divide

-10/3 * 9/4 and then youll get ur answer.
