You must demonstrate that the angles formed by adjacent sides equal 90 degrees. This can be established by showing that the adjacent sides are perpendicular through a comparison of their slopes.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind that parallel lines have identical slopes, while the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of one another.

We have the points a(-3,1), b(3,3), c(4,0), and d(-2,-2). First, let's identify the relationships among the lines that create the sides of rectangle ABCD.

Lines AD and BC are parallel.

Lines AB and DC also run parallel.

Lines AB and AD are perpendicular.

Lines BC and DC are perpendicular as well.

Lines AD and BC share a slope of -3, indicating they are parallel.

Lines AB and DC have a slope of 1/3, confirming their parallel nature.

Lines CD and BC are perpendicular due to their slopes being negative reciprocals—CD has a slope of 1/3, and BC has a slope of -3.

Similarly, lines DC and AD are also perpendicular, with DC at 1/3 and AD at -3.

With this information, we conclude that the parallel lines DC and AB intersect with the parallel lines BC and AD. The intersection points of these parallel line pairs form the sides of rectangle ABCD, thus proving that the coordinates of the parallelogram indeed create a rectangle.

A train goes twice as fast downhill as it can go uphill, and 2/3 feet as fast uphill as it can go on level ground. if it goes 12
tester [8842]
The train descends at twice the speed compared to its ascent, and it travels at 2/3 of the speed uphill relative to flat terrain.
If its speed downhill is measured at 120 miles per hour, its uphill speed would be 120 divided by 2, equaling 60 miles per hour, and its speed on flat ground would be 60 divided by (2/3), simplified to (60 times 3) divided by 2, resulting in 90 miles per hour.
Consequently, for the train to cover 45 miles on flat terrain, the time required is calculated as 45 divided by 90, which is equal to 0.5 hours, or 30 minutes.

The weights of soy patties sold by Veggie Burgers Delight are normally distributed. A random sample of 15 patties yields a mean
Svet_ta [9500]

Answer:

t=\frac{3.8-4}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{15}}}=-1.549

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data and notation

\bar X=3.8 indicates the sample mean

s=0.5 refers to the sample standard deviation

n=15 is the sample size

\mu_o =4 represents the value we are testing.

\alpha indicates the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t refers to the statistic of interest.

p_v is the p-value for the test (the variable we are interested in).

Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses.

I will set up the hypotheses to verify if the mean weight falls below 4 ounces, formalizing:

Null hypothesis: \mu \geq 68

Alternative hypothesis: \mu < 4

Since our sample size is < 30 and the population standard deviation is unknown, it’s advisable to utilize a t test to compare the actual mean against the reference value, with the statistic calculated as follows:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)

t-test: "This test compares group means and is commonly utilized to determine if the mean is (greater than, less than, or not equal to) a specific value."

Calculate the statistic

We can substitute the provided information into formula (1):

t=\frac{3.8-4}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{15}}}=-1.549

The main span of Bridge A ​(2300 ​feet) is​ _____ percent shorter than the main span of Bridge B ​(4700 ​feet).
Svet_ta [9500]
To determine this answer, you need to calculate the percentage change.
This involves dividing the difference in lengths by the original length. We begin with the main bridge.

4700 - 2300 = 2400
2400 divided by 4700 equals approximately 51.1% shorter.

Zina [9171]

¡Hola! Bienvenido a!

Vamos a sumar cuántas canicas tenemos en total.

12+11+17+5=45

Queremos hallar la probabilidad de elegir una canica que no sea azul. Observemos cuántas canicas no son azules.

12+11+5=28

Tendremos esta probabilidad sobre 48.

28/48

Al simplificar, obtenemos 7/12 o alrededor de 58.33%.

¡Espero que esto ayude!
