Unit 7 polygons & quadrilaterals homework 3: rectangles Gina Wilson answer key

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

In the image attached you can find the Unit 7 homework.

We need to findt he missing measures of each figure.

Notice that the first figure is a rectangle, which means opposite sides are congruent so,

VY = 19

WX = 19

YX = 31

VW = 31

To find the diagonals we need to use Pythagorean's Theorem, where the diagonals are hypothenuses.

$VX^{2}=19^{2}+31^{2}\\ VX=\sqrt{361+961}=\sqrt{1322} \\VX \approx 36.36$

Also, $YW \approx 36.36$ , beacuse rectangles have congruent diagonals, which intercect equally.

That means, $ZX = \frac{VX}{2} \approx \frac{36.36}{2}\approx 18.18$

Figure number two is also a rectangle.

If GH = 14, that means diagonal GE = 28, because diagonals intersect in equal parts.

Now, GF = 11, because rectangles have opposite sides congruent.

DF = 28, because in a reactangle, diagonals are congruent.

HF = 14, because its half of a diagonal.

To find side DG, we need to use Pythagorean's Theorem, where GE is hypothenuse

$GE ^{2}=11^{2}+DG^{2}\\28^{2}-11^{2}=DG^{2}\\DG=\sqrt{784-121}=\sqrt{663}\\ DG \approx 25.75$

This figure is also a rectangle, which means all four interior angles are right, that is, equal to 90°, which means angle 11 and the 59° angle are complementary, so

$\angle 11 +59\°=90\°\\\angle 11=90\°-59\°\\\angle 11=31\°$

Now, angles 11 and 4 are alternate interior angles which are congruent, because a rectangle has opposite congruent and parallel sides.

$\angle 4 = 31\°$

Which means $\angle 3 = 59\°$ , beacuse it's the complement for angle 4.

Now, $\angle 6 = 59\°$ , because it's a base angle of a isosceles triangle. Remember that in a rectangle, diagonals are congruent, and they intersect equally, which creates isosceles triangles.

$\angle 9=180-59-59=62$ , by interior angles theorem.

$\angle 8 =62$ , by vertical angles theorem.

$\angle 10 = 180- \angle 9=180-62=118\°$ , by supplementary angles.

$\angle 7 = 118\°$ , by vertical angles theorem.

$\angle 5=90-59=31$ , by complementary angles.

$\angle 2 = \angle 5 = 31\°$ , by alternate interior angles.

$\angle 1 = 59\°$ , by complementary angles.

$m\angle BCD=90\°$ , because it's one of the four interior angles of a rectangle, which by deifnition are equal to 90°.

$m\angle ABD = 6\° = m\angle BDC$ , by alternate interior angles and by given. $m\angle CBE=90-6=84$ , by complementary angles.

$m\angle ADE=90-6=84$ , by complementary angles.

$m\angle AEB=180-6-6=168\°$ , by interior angles theorem.

$m\angle DEA=180-168=12$ , by supplementary angles.

$m\angle JMK=180-126=54$ , by supplementary angles.

$m\angle JKH=\frac{180-54}{2}=\frac{126}{2}=63$ , by interior angles theorem, and by isosceles triangle theorem.

$m\angle HLK=90\°$ , by definition of rectangle.

$m\angle HJL=\frac{180-126}{2}=27$ , by interior angles theorem, and by isosceles triangle theorem.

$m\angle LHK=90-27=63$ , by complementary angles.

$m\angle = JLK= m\angle HJL=27$ , by alternate interior angles.

The figure is a rectangle, which means its opposite sides are equal, so

$WZ=XY\\7x-6=3x+14\\7x-3x=14+6\\4x=20\\x=\frac{20}{4}\\ x=5$

Then, we replace this value in the expression of side WZ

$WZ=7x-6=7(5)-6=35-6=29$

Therefore, side WZ is 29 units long.

We know that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent, so

$SQ=PR\\11x-26=5x+28\\11x-5x=28+26\\6x=54\\x=\frac{54}{6}\\ x=9$

Then,

$PR=5x+28=5(9)+28=45+28=73$

Therefore, side PR is 73 units long.

A researcher wants to estimate the mean weekly family expenditure on clothing purchases and maintenance. First, she needs to det

Blizzard [7]

Answer: C. 461

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula to find the sample size is given by :-

$n=(\dfrac{z^*\cdot \sigma}{E})^2$

, where $\sigma$ = Population standard deviation from prior study.

E = margin of error.

z* = Critical value.

As per given , we have

$\sigma=125$

E= 15

Significance level : $\alpha=0.01$

Critical value (Two tailed)= $z^*=z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.005}=2.576$

Now , Required sample size = $n=(\dfrac{(2.576)\cdot 125}{15})^2$

$n=(21.4666666667)^2\\\\ n=460.817777779\approx461$ [Round to next integer]

Hence, the required sample size to be taken is 461.

Correct answer = C. 461

When Gene and Kelly were planning their trip to Paris, one United States dollar was worth about $\frac{7}{10}$ of a euro. Before

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

$280 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

When they were leaving

$\$1 \approx \frac{7}{10}$ Euro\\Therefore:\\\$1000 \approx \dfrac{7}{10}\times 1000 =700$ Euro$

When they returned home, they brought 196 Euros.

$If\:\:\$1 \approx \frac{7}{10}$ Euro\\Then: 1 Euro $=\$ \dfrac{10}{7}\\\\$Therefore:\\\\196 Euros = \$ 196 \times \dfrac{10}{7} =\$280$

They brought back $280 dollars to the United States.

8.5b−3.4∙(13a−3.2b)+a

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

8.5b - 3.4(13a - 3.2b) + a = 19.4b - 43.2a

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a simple mathematical problem with multiple like terms. We can solve it by applying basic mathematical rules of multiplication and addition/subtration.

8.5b - 3.4(13a - 3.2b) + a

= 8.5b - 3.4*13a -3.4*(-3.2b) + a

= 8.5b - 3.4*13a + 3.4*3.2b + a

= 8.5b - 44.2a + 10.88 b + a

Now, only like terms can be added to each other

= (8.5b + 10.9b) + (a - 44.2a)

= 19.4b + (-43.2a)

= 19.4b - 43.2a
