Xander says that it is not possible to draw a quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram and not a trapezoid. Devin says it is po

ssible. Explain who is correct.
A
Xander is correct because every trapezoid is a quadrilateral and a parallelogram.

B
Devin is correct because he can draw a quadrilateral with no pairs of parallel sides.

C
Xander is correct because both parallelograms and trapezoids have right angles.

D
Devin is right because parallelograms and trapezoids do not have the same number of sides.

A good place to start for this question is to define the properties of the geometric terms you are given.

Quadrilaterals have four straight sides. 

Parallelograms are quadrilaterals that have two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite sides and opposite angles are congruent. Squares, rectangles, and rhombuses are examples of parallelograms.

Trapezoids are also quadrilaterals. They have only one pair of parallel sides.

So we're looking to see if there are any four-sided shapes that can be made with no parallel sides. The attached picture shows an example of a quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram and is not a trapezoid. Based on these properties of polygons, the correct answer is B.

joja [24]

Answer: The answer is (b) a ≤ 3 + 2j; j ≥ 14, a ≤ 35.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Anna is no more than 3 years older than 2 times Jamie’s age. Jamie is at least 14 and Anna is at most 35. We are to select the correct combination of inequalities among the given options.

Also, 'a' and 'j' are the possible ages of Anna and Jamie respectively. Therefore, according to the given information, we can write

a\leq 2j+3,\\j\geq 14,\\a\leq 35.

Thus, the correct option is (b) a ≤ 3 + 2j; j ≥ 14, a ≤ 35.

18% of the the students at a school are in year 8 and 16% of the students are in year 9. If the school has 126 tera 8 students,
yarga [219]

Answer:

112

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of all percentage questions is: the chunk= (some percentage) (of the whole), or c=p*w

We know that 18% of students are 8th grade and that is 126 students, so p = 0.18 and c=126 (126 students are 18% of the whole school)

126 = (0.18)w, divide both sides by 0.18

126/(0.18) = w = 700

9th graders are 16% of the school or 16% of 700 students

c = (0.16) 700 = 112 students

An insurance adjuster processes the claims of six policy holders in an eight hour work day. The adjuster uses $5 in gasoline and
Bad White [126]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Labor productivity is is measured per hours.

Hence, the work he does [amount of claims] will be distributed amongst the amount of hours he works. The amount of dollar he uses <em>doesn't matter for labor productivity.</em>

<em />

Thus, his work is 6 claims. He does that is 8 hours. So claim/hr is:

6/8 = 0.75 claims per hour

Answer choice D is right.

Noel Devine bought a new dishwasher for $320. He paid 20 down and made 10 monthly payments of $34 what actual yearly interest ra
Nookie1986 [14]
IN finding the interest we need to use the following formula:
 Interest= Principal x Rate x Time  or I= PRT
Substitute values: I= [$20 + ($10 x $34)] -320 =$40
P= $320
R=?
T=10 months/year
I=PRT
Since R is a missing term, we will solve for R using this formula: R=I/PT
R=  [<span>$20 + ($10 x $34)-320] / ($320 x 10 months)
                                          T=10 months</span>÷12 months=0.83<span>
R= ($40)/ $320 X 0.83
R= 40/ 265.6
R=15.06024096</span>

Please help me answer this ASAP! The two-way table shows the number of ninth and tenth graders who prefer going to sporting even
Elis [28]
<h2>Answer</h2>

0.43

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Remember that RelativeFrecuency=\frac{Frecuency}{SumOfAllFrecuencies}

Since the problem is telling us "Among tenth graders", we must focus on the 10th graders row only. From the row, we can infer that the frequency is the number of 10th graders who prefer going to sporting events, so Frecuency=6. Now, the sum of all frequencies will be the sum of all the 10th graders, so SumOfAllFrecuencies=6+8=14. Let's replace the values:

RelativeFrecuency=\frac{Frecuency}{SumOfAllFrecuencies}

RelativeFrecuency=\frac{6}{14}

RelativeFrecuency=0.4285

And rounded to the nearest hundredth:

RelativeFrecuency=0.43
