Lourdes is making a frame in the shape of a parallelogram. She adds diagonal braces to strengthen the frame. Parallelogram A B C

D is shown. Diagonals are drawn from point A to point C and from point D to point B and intersect at point E. The length of D E is (3 y + 6) centimeters, the length of E B is (5 y minus 10) centimeters, and the length of E C is (2 y + 4) centimeters. How long is the brace that connects points B and D? 8 cm 16 cm 30 cm 60 cm

Answer:

60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram ABCD is shown in attached diagram. The diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other, so

AE = EC

BE = ED

Ib DE = 3y + 6 cm, BE = 5y - 10 cm, then

$3y+6=5y-10\\ \\3y-5y=-10-6\\ \\-2y=-16\\ \\2y=16\\ \\y=8\ cm$

Now, EC = 2y + 4, so

$EC=2\cdot 8+4=16+4=20\ cm$

Since AE = EC, then AE = 20 cm

The brace that connects points B and D has the length

$BD=BE+ED=3y+6+5y-10=8y-4=8\cdot 8-4=64-4=60\ cm$

The brace that connects points A and C has the length

$AC=AE+EC=20+20=40\ cm$

In isosceles △ABC (AC = BC) with base angle 30° CD is a median. How long is the leg of △ABC, if sum of the perimeters of △ACD an

SIZIF [17.4K]

Note necessary facts about isosceles triangle ABC:

The median CD drawn to the base AB is also an altitude to tha base in isosceles triangle (CD⊥AB). This gives you that triangles ACD and BCD are congruent right triangles with hypotenuses AC and BC, respectively.
The legs AB and BC of isosceles triangle ABC are congruent, AC=BC.
Angles at the base AB are congruent, m∠A=m∠B=30°.

1. Consider right triangle ACD. The adjacent angle to the leg AD is 30°, so the hypotenuse AC is twice the opposite leg CD to the angle A.

AC=2CD.

2. Consider right triangle BCD. The adjacent angle to the leg BD is 30°, so the hypotenuse BC is twice the opposite leg CD to the angle B.

BC=2CD.

3. Find the perimeters of triangles ACD, BCD and ABC:

$P_{ACD}=AC+CD+AD=2CD+CD+AD=3CD+AD;$

$P_{BCD}=BC+CD+BD=2CD+CD+AD=3CD+AD;$

$P_{ABC}=AC+BC+AB=2CD+2CD+AD+BD=4CD+2AD.$

4. If sum of the perimeters of △ACD and △BCD is 20 cm more than the perimeter of △ABC, then

$P_{ACD}+P_{BCD}=P_{ABC}+20,\\ \\3CD+AD+3CD+AD=4CD+2AD+20,\\ \\6CD+2AD=4CD+2AD+20,\\ \\2CD=20.$

5. Since AC=BC=2CD, then the legs AC and BC of isosceles triangles have length 20 cm.

Answer: 20 cm.

If trapezoid JKLM with vertices) (3, 4), K (6,4), L (8, 1) and M (1,1) is rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise, what are the

Stels [109]

Answer:

$J' = (4,-3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$J = (3, 4)$

$K =(6,4)$

$L = (8, 1)$

$M = (1,1)$

$Rotation = 270CCW$

Required

Determine the new coordinate of J

From rules of rotation,

When a point (x,y) is rotated 270 degrees CCW;

The new point becomes (y,-x)

Considering point J

$J = (3, 4)$

This means

$(x,y) = (3,4)$

Where $x = 3$ and $y = 4$

Using the above rotation rule of

$(x,y) -> (y,-x)$

The coordinates of J' becomes

$J' = (4,-3)$

What type of triangle has side lengths of 4√5, √145 and 19?

Masja [62]

a, b, c - side lengths (a ≤ b ≤ c)

If $a^2+b^2 < c^2$ , then is Obtuse triangle.

If $a^2+b^2=c^2$ , then is Right triangle.

If $a^2+b^2 > c^2$ , then Acute triangle.

$a=4\sqrt5,\ b=\sqrt{145},\ c=19\to a < b < c$

Check to see if the sum of the first two sides is greater than the third.

$a+b=4\sqrt5+\sqrt{145}\approx9+12=21 > 19=c\\\\CORRECT$

$a\neq b\neq c\neq a$ , therefore is Scalene triangle.

$a^2=(4\sqrt5)^2=4^2(\sqrt5)^2=16(5)=80\\\\b^2=(\sqrt{145})^2=145\\\\c^2=19^2=361\\\\a^2+b^2=80+145=225 < 361=c^2\\\\a^2+b^2 < c^2$

It's Obtuse triangle.

NeX [460]

Actual question is "<span>Jeremy had 3/4 of a submarine sandwich and gave his friend 1/3 of it. What fraction of the sandwich did the friend receive?"

Solution:
1/3 of 3/4 of a submarine sandwich = 1/3x3/4 = 3/12 = 1/4
so jermy gave 1/4 of the submarine sandwich to his friend. </span>
