Explain why drawing both diagonals on any rectangle will always result in two pairs of nonoverlapping congruent triangles.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It is because not all sides of a rectangle are equal in length; unlike a square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by drawing the first diagonal.

You know already how a rectangle looks. It has 4 sides and 2 sets of parallel sides. Each pair of parallel sides has the same length.

A diagonal is a line crossing from one edge of a four-sided shape to the opposite edge; such that it divides the shape into two equal halves.

Now place your rectangle horizontally. Let the two longer sides be on the horizon while the two shorter sides go vertical.

We draw the first diagonal from the edge on the top right to the opposite edge (down left). This will divide the shape into two equal halves and each half will be a triangle; a congruent one at that.

When you fold this rectangle along its diagonal, the two triangles will not overlap! The resulting shape will be like two triangular mountains lying side by side. You can use a paper (cut in the shape of a rectangle) for this experiment.

Why does this happen, instead of the two triangles covering each other (overlapping)?

This happens because a rectangle doesn't have 4 equal sides. Check out a square and you'll see that both triangles will overlap after a diagonal is drawn across the square.

Draw the second diagonal of the rectangle (from up-left to down-right) and the same thing is observed.

Find the area of a circle with a radius of 6 feet. Round to the hundredths place

Answers

Answer:

Area of circle = 113.04 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given that radius of the circle (r) = 6 feet

Area of circle

                   A = π r²

                   A =  π (6)²

                  A =  36 π

                  A = 36 × 3.14

Which equation has a graph parallel to the graph of 9x + 3y =22?

Answers

Answer:

y = -3x + 8.3

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to rearrange 9x + 3y = 22 in the form y = mx +c.

9x+3y = 22

3y = -9x +22

y = -3x + 7.3

As long as the gradient is the same, the lines will be parallel. So you can give any number to the intercept (in this case I gave 8.3) and you will have parallel equations.

Solve the system by substitution.
y = 3x
y = -4x – 49

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute 3x into y=-4x-49

y=−4x−49

3x=−4x−49

3x+4x=−4x−49+4x(Add 4x to both sides)

7x/7=−49/7

(Divide both sides by 7)

x=−7

Step: Substitute−7forxiny=3x:

y=3x

y=(3)(−7)

y=−21(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=−7 and y=−21

The solution set to the given system of equation is (- 7, - 21).

Differentiate between a mathematical function, equation and expression?           Function : In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y. The set X is called the domain of the function and the set Y is called the codomain of the functionExpression : A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operatorsEquation : A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions.

Given are the system of equations as follows -

y = 3x

y = - 4x - 49

We have the equations as -

y = 3x             .... Eq [1]

y = - 4x - 49     .... Eq [2]

Now, we can write the equation [2] as -

3x = - 4x - 49

7x = -49

x = - 7

So, we can find the value of [y] as -

y = 3x

y = 3 x - 7

y = - 21

Therefore, the solution set to the given system of equation is (- 7, - 21).

In the diagram, triangle QRS is congruent to triangle XYZ. Find the measure of angle R. ​

Answer:

What are congruent triangles?

The measurements of the sides and angles of two or more triangles determine whether they are congruent. A triangle's size is determined by its three sides, and its shape is determined by its three angles. If the pairs of their corresponding sides and angles are equal, two triangles are said to be congruent.

Given ΔQRS ≅ ΔXYZ

for congruency the sides and angle of both the triangles should be equal so for  ΔQRS and ΔXYZ ; QR = XY, QS = XZ, and RS = YZ and

∠Q = ∠X, ∠S = ∠Z and ∠R = ∠Y

from figure ∠Q = ∠X = 55⁰, ∠S = ∠Z  = 50⁰

sum of angle of triangle is 180⁰,

∠Q + ∠S + ∠R = 180⁰

∠R  = 180 - 55 - 50

∠R  = 75⁰

Hence ∠R  = 75⁰

Given the Vertex (1,0) and the Directrix y = -¼, find the equation of the quadratic




(x - 1)2

(x + 5)2

2(x - 1)2

-x2 - 1

Answers

Answer:

y = (x - 1)²

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is the locus of a point such that its distance from a fixed point (known as the focus) and a fixed line (known as the directrix) is always constant. The equation of a parabola is a quadratic equation.

The equation of a parabola with a horizontal directrix is given by:

(x - h)² = 4p(y - k).

Where the directrix (y) = k - p, vertex = (h, k)

Given that:  Vertex (1,0) and the Directrix y = -¼, Therefore:

vertex = (h, k) = (1, 0). h = 1 and k = 0.

y = k - p

but y = -1/4. Hence:

-1/4 = k - p

p = k + 1/4

p = 0 + 1/4

p = 1/4

Since the equation of the parabola is:

(x - h)² = 4p(y - k).

Substituting:

(x - 1)² = 4(1/4)(y - 0)

(x - 1)² = y

y = (x - 1)²

y = x² - 2x + 1
