Answer: WXYZ can be a parallelogram with one pair of sides measuring 15 mm and other pair measuring 9 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a quadrilateral WXYZ with YZ = 15 mm.

Opposite side of YZ is x+18.

In a parallelogram the opposite side are equal.

Therefore,

YZ = XW

x+8 = 15.

Subtracting 8 from both sides, we get

x+8-8 = 15-8

x=7.

We have XY=2x-5

Plugging x=7 in 2x-5, we get

XY= 2(7) -5 = 14-5 = 9mm.

Opposite side of XY is WZ.

Therefore, WZ = 9 mm.

Therefore, correct option is :

<h3>WXYZ can be a parallelogram with one pair of sides measuring 15 mm and other pair measuring 9 mm.</h3>

Answer:

17.262 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming they are cutting through using the hypotenuse, the distance they save is x+4+x-42, and is thus 2x-38.

The triangle can be solved using pythag to find the exact distance.

The ideal width of a safety belt strap for a certain automobile is 5 cm. An actual width can vary by at most 0.35 cm. Write and

notsponge [240]

Answer:

$4.65\leq x\leq 5.35$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual width of belt be x

we are given that the ideal width of safety belt strap is 5 cm

So, Difference between actual and ideal = (x-5)cm

We are also given that An actual width can vary by at most 0.35 cm.

So, The difference between actual and ideal width should be less than or equal to 0.35 cm

So, $|x-5|\leq 0.35$

We know

$x-5\leq 0.35$ and $x-5\geq -0.35$

$x\leq 0.35+5$ and $x\geq -0.35+5$

$x\leq 5.35$ and $x\geq 4.65$

So, $4.65\leq x\leq 5.35$

Hence the range of acceptable widths is $4.65\leq x\leq 5.35$
