Zion is given four coordinates of a quadrilateral: (-4,-2),(4,2),(6,-2),(-2,-6). Zion wants to determine what kind of quadrilateral is made. Which of the following statements are true and useful to determine which figure is made? Select all that apply. Both diagonals have a length of 10, so it cannot be a parallelogram. The segments have slopes of 1/2,-2,1/2,-2 so it is a parallelogram. The diagonals are perpendicular to each other, so it is a rhombus or a kite. The lengths of the sides are 8.94 and 10 so it is a rectangle. The lengths of the sides are 8.94 and 10 so it is a square. Adjacent sides have slopes of 1/2 and -2, so they are perpendicular.
Using fencing, a rectangular area is to be enclosed next to the wall of a building. The bullding will form one of the sides and no fencing will be placed there. The cost of the fencing for the side opposite the building is $5 per foot. The cost of the fencing for the other two sides is $3 per foot. The area to be enclosed is 3000 ft . In order to keep expenses of the three sides to a minimum, how many feet of each type of fencing must be bought? 6- a) 100 ft of $3/ft fence, 120 ft of $5/ft fence b) 60 ft of $3/ft fence, 100 ft of $5/ft fence c) 50 ft of $3/ft fence, 120 ft of $5/ft fence Cevap Listesi d) 100 ft of $3/ft fence, 60 ft of $5/ft fence e) 120 ft of $3/ft fence, 50 ft of $5/ft fence
