Determine if a quadrilateral with the given vertices is an isosceles trapezoid. Show and explain all steps to prove or disprove.
A(3, 3) B(5, 3) C(8,1) D(1,1)

Answers

Answer:

No, a quadrilateral with the given vertices is not  an isosceles trapezoid.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

A(3,3), B(5,3), C(8,1), D(1,1)

Slope formula:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Slope of AB=[tex]\frac{3-3}{5-3}=0[/tex]

Slope of BC=[tex]\frac{1-3}{8-5}=\frac{-2}{3}[/tex]

Slope of CD=[tex]\frac{1-1}{1-8}=0[/tex]

Slope of AD=[tex]\frac{1-3}{1-3}=1[/tex]

Slope of AB=Slope of CD

When slopes of two lines are equal then the lines are parallel.

Therefore, AB is parallel to CD.

When one pair of quadrilateral is parallel then the  quadrilateral is trapezoid.

[tex]\implies [/tex]ABCD is a trapezoid.

Distance formula:

[tex]\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Using the formula

Length of BC=[tex]\sqrt{(8-5)^2+(1-3)^2}[/tex]

Length of BC=[tex]\sqrt{9+4}=\sqrt{13}[/tex] units

Length of AD=[tex]\sqrt{(1-3)^2+(1-3)^2}[/tex]

Length of AD=[tex]\sqrt{4+4}=2\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Length of AD is not equal to length of BC.

Hence, trapezoid is not an isosceles trapezoid.

The productivity of workers at a shoe factory in
pairs of shoes per hour) can be modeled using the
function p(h) = -4h + 5, where h is the number of
hours. If a worker must create at least 3 pairs of
shoes per hour for the company to be profitable,
how long should the worker's shift be?

Answers

Answer:

1/2 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the productivity function measured in pairs of shoes per hour ;

P(h) = - 4h + 5

h = number of hours

Number of hours required to create 3 pairs of shoes :

Put P(h) = 3 in the equation :

3 = - 4h + 5

3 - 5 = - 4h

-2 = - 4h

-2/-4 = - 4h/-4

0.5 = h

1/2 an hour = 30 minutes

Keiko, Chang, and Abdul sent a total of 109 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Keiko sent 7 fewer messages than Chang. Abdul sent 4
times as many messages as Keiko. How many messages did they each send?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Keiko: 17Chang: 24Abdul: 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of messages sent by Chang. Then Keiko sent (c-7) messages, and Abdul sent 4(c-7) messages. The total number sent was ...

  c + (c -7) +4(c -7) = 109

  6c -35 = 109 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  6c = 144 . . . . . . . . . . . add 35

  c = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

  c-7 = 17

  4(c-7) = 68

Keiko sent 17, Chang sent 24, and Abdul sent 68 text messages.

Construct an inequality to make a determination about the number of texts you can send each month. Note that you cannot send a fraction of a text. You must send __________ _______________ texts this month in order to stay within your budget.

Answers

Answer:

50 text messages would have to be sent or received in order for the plans to cost the same each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of text messages sent

0.2x+40=50

0.2x = 10

5(0.2x) = 5(10)

x = 50

Therefore, 50 text messages would have to be sent or received in order for the plans to cost the same each month.

How to solve this problem?

The steps are as follow:

In acute triangle the the internal angle should not or greater than 90 degreeIn triangle B one of internal angle is 126 degree which is greater than 90 degree so it is not acute triangleOne internal angle of triangle C is 90 degree so it is also not acute triangleFor triangle D one angle is 132 degree which is greater than 90 degree so it also not acute triangleIn triangle A all the internal angle is less than 90 degree so it is acute triangle

On a plan with a scale of 1:50, the floor of a rectangular cupboard is
shown with dimensions 25 cm by 3.6 cm. What are the actual dimensions
of the floor? Give your answers in metres.



Anyone know the answer ?

Answers

Answer:

The actual dimensions of the floor are 12,5m by 1,8m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale problems are solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

Scale of 1:50

This means that each cm on the cupboard has a real dimension of 50 cm

25 cm on the cupboard:

So the real dimension is:

25*50 = 1250 cm = 12,5m

3.6 cm

The real dimension is:

3.6*50 = 160 cm = 1,8 m

The actual dimensions of the floor are 12,5m by 1,8m.

How long will it take 500 dollars to double if it is invested at 7% interest compounded semi-annually

Answers

Answer:

11 half years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^(nt), with r representing the interest rate, n being the number of times interest is applied over the time period, and t being the amount of time periods.

If we make the time period a half year (so interest is compounded once per time period), n=2. Then, our interest rate is 7%, or 0.07 (to convert from percent to decimal, simply divide by 100). Our starting amount is 500, and we want it to double, making it 1000. Our formula is thus

1000 = 500 (1+0.07)^(t)

divide both sides by 500

2 = (1+0.07)^(t)

2 = (1.07)^(t)

Using logarithms, we can say that

[tex]log_{1.07} 2 = t[/tex]

and using a calculator, we get

10.24 = t

Since interest is only compounded once per time period, though, we have to round up to make sure it doubles, so t = 11

represent a function? B) Explain why or why not. C) provide examples in either case, (and include your reasoning why
you chose this equation for your example.)

Answers

Answer:

f is not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Domain: Whole numbers

Range: Real numbers

Required

Is f a function

Base on the given parameters, f is not a function because:

There are more real numbers than whole numbers

And this implies that at least one element in the domain will have more than one corresponding elements in the range. i.e. one-to-many or many-to-many relationship

For a relation to be regarded as a function, the relationship has to be one-to-one or many-to-one

i.e. 1 or many domain elements to 1 element in the range.

An example is:

[tex]\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {1} & {9} & {9} & {0} \ \\ f(x) & {1.5} & {3.2} & {-3.5} & {0.1} \ \end{array}[/tex]

In the above function

The domain (i.e. x values) are whole numbers

The range (i.e. y values) are real numbers

However,

9 points to 3.2 and -3.5

So, the relation is not a function.

The probability of getting two good coils is 77.33%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a batch consists of 12 defective coils and 88 good ones, to determine the probability of getting two good coils when two coils are randomly selected (without replacement), the following calculation must be performed:

88/100 x 87/99 = X

0.88 x 0.878787 = X
