What do you do to the b value to correctly complete the square?

To properly complete the square, divide the b value by 2 and then square that result. For instance, if b equals 4, you would first halve it to get 2, and the square of 2 would give a result of 4.

If A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3), and D(x4, y4) form two line segments, and , which condition needs to be met to prove ?
Zina [12379]
The answer
the full question is
If A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3), and D(x4, y4) create two line segments, and AB ⊥ CD, what condition must be satisfied to establish that AB ⊥ CD?

Let A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) represent the first line, while C(x3, y3) and D(x4, y4) represent the second line.

The slope for the first line is given by m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
For the second line, the slope is m' = (y4 - y3) / (x4 - x3).

The necessary condition to demonstrate that AB ⊥ CD is

                           
                    (y2 - y1) * (y4 - y3)
m × m' =  ---------  ×  ------------ = -1
                    (x2 - x1)    (y4 - y3)

In the diagram, DG = 15, GF = 5, EH = 12, and DE = 8. To prove that △DFE ~ △GFH by the SSS similarity theorem using the informat
lawyer [12517]

Answer: C) HF measures 4 units and GH is 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The SSS similarity theorem asserts that triangles are similar if the lengths of their corresponding sides are in proportion.

For triangles ΔDFE and ΔGFH:

DG equals 15, GF is 5, EH equals 12, and DE is 8.

To demonstrate the similarity of ΔDFE and ΔGFH according to the SSS similarity theorem, we require:

\frac{DF}{GF}=\frac{FE}{FH}=\frac{DE}{GH}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{DG+GF}{GF}=\frac{FH+EH}{FH}=\frac{DE}{GH}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{5+15}{5}=\frac{12+HF}{FH}=\frac{8}{GH}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{20}{5}=\frac{12+HF}{FH}\ and\ \frac{20}{5}=\frac{8}{GH}\\\\\Rightarrrow4HF=12+HF\ and\ GH=\frac{8}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow3HF=12\ and\ GH=2\\\\\Rightarrow HF=4\ and\ GH=2

Thus, to confirm that △DFE is similar to △GFH utilizing the SSS similarity theorem and the data from the diagram, it is essential to establish that HF measures 4 units and GH measures 2 units.

Jayden, who burns 345 calories in 45 min
Zina [12379]
I believe she should pack three bundles. 6 hours equals 360 minutes. Dividing 360 by 45 gives us 8. Multiplying 345 by 8 results in 2760. Then, dividing 2760 by 3 yields 920, and 310 times 3 equals 930.:)

Assume that the cheetah travels an average of 40 mph to go from its resting place to a rock near a river. On the return trip to
AnnZ [12381]

Response:

9.55 minutes

Step-by-step breakdown:

x hours to reach the river

0.25-x hours for the return trip, as 15 minutes equals 0.25 hr.

to the river 40 mph * x hours =40x miles

from the river 70 mph (0.25-x) hours=17.5-70x

these two equations are equivalent

40x=17.5-70x

110x=17.5

x=17.5/110=0.159 hours

9.55 minutes
