Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Category:Parallelograms. ... A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel to each other, and whose sides may or may not all be the same length.

We know many quadrilaterals by their special shapes and properties, like squares. Remember, if you see the word quadrilateral, it does not necessarily mean a figure with special properties like a square or rectangle! In word problems, be careful not to assume that a quadrilateral has parallel sides or equal sides unless that is stated.

Special Quadrilaterals

A parallelogram has two parallel pairs of opposite sides.

A rectangle has two pairs of opposite sides parallel, and four right angles. It is also a parallelogram, since it has two pairs of parallel sides.

A square has two pairs of parallel sides, four right angles, and all four sides are equal. It is also a rectangle and a parallelogram.

A rhombus is defined as a parallelogram with four equal sides. Is a rhombus always a rectangle? No, because a rhombus does not have to have 4 right angles.

Trapezoids only have one pair of parallel sides. It's a type of quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram. (British name: Trapezium)

Kites have two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal.

We can use a Venn diagram to help us group the types of quadrilaterals.

A Venn diagram uses overlapping circles to show relationships between groups of objects. All "quadrilaterals" can be separated into three sub-groups: general quadrilaterals, parallelograms and trapezoids.

Is a rectangle always a rhombus? No, because all four sides of a rectangle don't have to be equal. However, the sets of rectangles and rhombuses do intersect, and their intersection is the set of squares—all squares are both a rectangle and a rhombus.

We can put squares in the intersection of the two circles.

From this diagram, you can see that a square is a quadrilateral, a parallelogram, a rectangle, and a rhombus!

Is a trapezoid a parallelogram? No, because a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides. That is why we must show the set of trapezoids in a separate circle on the Venn diagram.

What about kites? Kites are quadrilaterals that can be parallelograms. If their two pairs of sides are equal, it becomes a rhombus, and if their angles are equal, it becomes a square.

Darina [25.2K]

12x2= $24
24+28+45= $97

So $97 is 100%

So 100%-30% =70% (30% off)
(note: 70% = 70/100 = 0.7)

97 x 0.7 = $67.90

In a right triangle, angle A measures 20°. The side opposite angle A is 10 centimeters long. Approximately how long is the hypot

lubasha [3.4K]

Given that the angle measure 20 and the side opposite to that angle measures 10 cm, suppose this is the height of the triangle, the hypotenuse
Such that
sin theta=opposite/hypotenuse
opposite=a=10 cm
sin 20=10/h
multiplying both sides by h we get
hsin20=10
hence;
h=10/sin20
h=29.24 cm
h=29.2 cm

What is the error due to using linear interpolation to estimate the value of sinxsin⁡x at x = \pi/3? your answer should have at

Serhud [2]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

using y = x, the error is about 0.1812
using y = (x -π/4 +1)/√2, the error is about 0.02620

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The actual value of sin(π/3) is (√3)/2 ≈ 0.86602540.

If the sine function is approximated by y=x (no error at x = 0), then the error at x=π/3 is ...

... x -sin(x) @ x=π/3

... π/3 -(√3)/2 ≈ 0.18117215 ≈ 0.1812

You know right away this is a bad approximation, because the approximate value is π/3 ≈ 1.04719755, a value greater than 1. The range of the sine function is [-1, 1] so there will be no values greater than 1.

___

If the sine function is approximated by y=(x+1-π/4)/√2 (no error at x=π/4), then the error at x=π/3 is ...

... (x+1-π/4)/√2 -sin(x) @ x=π/3

... (π/12 +1)/√2 -(√3)/2 ≈ 0.026201500 ≈ 0.02620

There are 135 people in a sport centre. 77 people use the gym. 62 people use the swimming pool. 65 people use the track. 27 peop

umka21 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is $\frac{2}{9}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 135 people in a sport centre.

Let the experiment be to pick a person from the sport centre who only uses exactly one of the facilities.

Total number of possible outcomes = 135

For the gym:

77 people use the gym.

27 people use the gym and the pool.

31 people use the gym and the track.

4 people use all three facilities.

Total number of people using only the gym are 77 - ( 27 + 31 + 4) = 15

For the swimming pool:

62 people use the swimming pool.

27 people use the gym and the pool.

23 people use the pool and the track.

4 people use all three facilities.

Total number of people using only the swimming pool are 62 - ( 27 + 23 + 4) = 8

For the tracks:

65 people use the track.

23 people use the pool and the track.

31 people use the gym and the track.

4 people use all three facilities.

Total number of people using only the tracks are 65 - ( 23 + 31 + 4) = 7

A person is selected at random.

Favorable outcomes = 7 + 8 + 15 = 30

Probability that the person uses exactly one of the facilities = $\frac{Favorable}{Total}$ = $\frac{30}{135} = \frac{2}{9}$ .
