Answer:

q = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4q - 8 = q + 4

3q - 8 = 4

3q = 12

q = 4

**Opposite sides in a parallelogram are congruent.

On a coordinate plane, 2 quadrilaterals are shown. Quadrilateral Q R S T has points (negative 1, 0), (5, 0), (3.5, negative 6) a

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

In quadrilateral QRST, Q(-1,0), R(5,0), S(3.5,-6), T(-2.5,-6).

In quadrilateral Q'R'S'T', Q'(-1,2), R'(1,2), S'(0.5,0), T'(-1.5,0).

Distance formula:

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Using distance formula , we get

$QR=\sqrt{(5-(-1))^2+(0-0)^2}=\sqrt{6^2}=6$

$Q'R'=\sqrt{(1-(-1))^2+(2-2)^2}=\sqrt{2^2}=2$

Now,

$\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{Q'R'}{QR}$

$\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{2}{6}$

$\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Therefore the scale factor is $\dfrac{1}{3}$ .

Lelia says that 75% of a number will always be greater than 50% of a number. Complete the inequality to support Lelia's claim an

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Let 'x' and 'y' be two different numbers.

Leila says that 75% of a number will always be greater than 50% of a number. The inequality that represents this statement is the following:

0.75x > 0.5y

Let x = 100 and y=200. We have that:

0.75(100) > 0.5(200)

75 > 100 ❌ INCORRECT ❌

Given that we found a case in which 75% of a number is not greater than 50% of a number, we can conclude that Leila's claim is incorrect.

A kite has a perimeter of 70 centimeters. One of the shorter sides measures 16 centimeters. What are the lengths of the other th

kari74 [83]

Answer:

a kite has 2 short sides and 2 long sides. The 2 short sides are equal. The 2 long sides are also equal. This means that the other short side is 16cm. And the remaining longer sides can be found like this:

let's pretend *y* is the long side

2*y = 70 - 16 - 16. (two of the long sides = 70 - short side - another short side)

so use algebra to find y.

2*y = 38

y = 19 so the long sides are both 19cm each

Your final answer: 16cm, 19cm, 19cm

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

y = x -7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 2y = 14

The slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Subtract 2x from each side

2x - 2y -2x = -2x+14

-2y = -2x+14

Divide each side by -2

-2y/-2 = -2x/-2 +14/-2

y = x -7

The slope is 1 and the y intercept is -7
