Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

AD = X + 8 ∠D = 2y +13 ∠C = 16 - x CB = 5y+4

In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary and opposite sides are equal.

Therefore for parallelogram ABCD, AB = CD, CB = AD

Since AD = CB (opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal):

x + 8 = 5y + 4

5y - x = 8 - 4

5y - x = 4 (1)

∠C + ∠D= 180° (consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary). Therefore:

16 - x + 2y + 13 = 180

2y - x + 29 = 180

2y - x = 180 -29

2y - x = 151 (2)

To find x and y, subtract equation 1 from equation 2:

3y = -147

y = -49

Put y = -49 in equation 2

2(-49) - x = 151

x = -98 - 151

x = -249

If a baseball player hits a baseball from 4 feet off the ground with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second, how long will it

topjm [15]

Answer:

0.64 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation provided:

h = −16t2 + 4t + 4

h is the height of the ball and t is time. Since we want to find the time when the ball touches the floor, then height is 0. This leaves us with the equation

-16 $t^{2}$ + 4t + 4 = 0

This is a quadratic equation can be solved with the following formula:

$x= \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

where a=-16

b=4

c=4

Solving for t we will find two different results:

$t1=\frac{-4-\sqrt{272} }{2(-16)} =0.125+0.125\sqrt{17} =0.64039$ $t2=\frac{-4+\sqrt{272} }{2(-16)} =0.125-0.125\sqrt{17} =-0.39039$

Since time can't be negative, we discard t2 and choose t1.

Since it is required to answer in the nearest hundredth, we round the result to t=0.64 seconds.

If 10a+10b=35, what is the average (arithmetic mean) of a and b?

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

If a and b are two numbers, then their arithmetic mean is

$\dfrac{a+b}{2}$

Given:

$10a+10b=35$

Divide this equation by 10:

$a+b=3.5$

Now, divide it by 2:

$\dfrac{a+b}{2}=\dfrac{3.5}{2}\\ \\\dfrac{a+b}{2}=1.75$
