Hey There!!

The answer to this is: A quadrilateral has vertices A(3, 5), B(2, 0), C(7, 0), and D(8, 5). Which statement about the quadrilateral is true?" Line BC is parallel to line AD because their slopes is equal i.e. (0 - 0) / (7 - 2) = (5 - 5) / (8 - 3) which gives 0 / 5 = 0 / 5 giving that 0 = 0. We check whether line AB is parallel to line CD. Slope of line AB is given by (0 - 5) / (2 - 3) = -5 / -1 = 5. Slope of line CD is given by (5 - 0) / (8 - 7) = 5 / 1 = 5 We have been able to prove that the opposite sides of the quadrilateral are parallel which means that the quadrilateral is not a trapezoid. Next we check whether the length of the sides are equal. Length of line AB is given by sqrt[(0 - 5)^2 + (2 - 3)^2] = sqrt[(-5)^2 + (-1)^2] = sqrt(25 + 1) = sqrt(26) Length of line BC is given by sqrt[(0 - 0)^2 + (7 - 2)^2] = sqrt[0^2 + 5^2] = sqrt(25) = 5 Length of line CD is given by sqrt[(5 - 0)^2 + (8 - 7)^2] = sqrt[5^2 + 1^2] = sqrt(25 + 1) = sqrt(26) Length of line DA is given by sqrt[(5 - 5)^2 + (8 - 3)^2] = sqrt[0^2 + 5^2] = sqrt(25) = 5 Thus, the length of the sides of the quadrilateral are not equal but opposite sides are equal which means that the quadrilateral is not a rhombus. Finally, we check whether adjacent lines are perpendicular. Recall the for perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is equal to -1. Slope of line AB = 5 while slope of line BC = 0. The product of their slopes = 5 x 0 = 0 which is not -1, thus the adjacent sides of the quadrilateral are not perpendicular which means that the quadrilateral is not a rectangle. Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram with non-perpendicular adjacent sides. Thus, For (option A).

I've been working on this for a few days and i just don't understand, it's due in a few hours. you. the direction of a vector is defined as the angle of the vector in relation to a horizontal line. as a standard, this angle is measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. the direction or angle of v in the diagram is α.part a: how can you use trigonometric ratios to calculate the direction α of a general vector v = < x, y> similar to the diagram? part bsuppose that vector v lies in quadrant ii, quadrant iii, or quadrant iv. how can you use trigonometric ratios to calculate the direction (i. e., angle) of the vector in each of these quadrants with respect to the positive x-axis? the angle between the vector and the positive x-axis will be greater than 90 degrees in each case. part cnow try a numerical problem. what is the direction of the vector w = < -1, 6 > ?
