No, it is not a rectangle because the sides of the

parallelogram do not meet at night angles (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of the rectangle = 28

The two sides of the figure measures 20 and 21 units respectively.

To determine if the shape is a rectangle, we would apply Pythagoras theorem

hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent²

hypotenuse = diagonal = 28

The other two sides represent the opposite and adjacent

28² = 20² + 21²

784 = 400 + 441

784 ≠ 841

The square of the diagonal is not equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides (length and width).  And as a result of this, the triangle isn't a right angled triangle and the sides of the parallelogram would not meet at right angles.

Therefore, the figure isn't a rectangle.

Option B: No, it is not a rectangle because the sides of the

parallelogram do not meet at night angles.

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
