Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangle so you can use pythagorean theorem

a squared + b squared = c squared

b=x

14^2 + b^2= 17^2

14+b=17

b=3

Answer18:

The quadrilateral ABCD is not a parallelogram

Answer19:

The quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

For question 18:

Given that vertices of a quadrilateral are A(-4,-1), B(-4,6), C(2,6) and D(2,-4)

The slope of a line is given m= $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

Now,

The slope of a line AB:

m= $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

m= $\frac{6-(-1)}{(-4)-(-4)}$

m= $\frac{7}{0}$

The slope is 90 degree

The slope of a line BC:

m= $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

m= $\frac{6-6}{(-4)-(-1)}$

m= $\frac{0}{(-3)}$

The slope is zero degree

The slope of a line CD:

m= $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

m= $\frac{(-4)-6}{2-2}$

m= $\frac{-10}{0}$

The slope is 90 degree

The slope of a line DA:

m= $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

m= $\frac{(-1)-(-4)}{(-4)-(2)}$

m= $\frac{3}{-6}$

m= $\frac{-1}{2}$

The slope of the only line AB and CD are the same.

Thus, The quadrilateral ABCD is not a parallelogram

For question 19:

Given that vertices of a quadrilateral are A(-2,3), B(3,2), C(2,-1) and D(-3,0)

The slope of a line is given m= $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

Now,

The slope of a line AB:

m= $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

m= $\frac{2-3}{3-(-2)}$

m= $\frac{-1}{5}$

The slope of a line BC:

m= $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

m= $\frac{(-1)-2}{2-3}$

m= $\frac{-3}{-1}$

m=3

The slope of a line CD:

m= $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

m= $\frac{0-(-1)}{(-3)-2}$

m= $\frac{-1}{5}$

The slope of a line DA:

m= $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

m= $\frac{3-0}{(-2)-(-3)}$

m=3

The slope of the line AB and CD are the same

The slope of the line BC and DA are the same

Thus, The quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram

A group of college students are going to a lake house for the weekend and plan on renting small cars and large cars to make the

maxonik [38]

The students rented 4 small cars and 8 large cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of people in small car = 4

Number of people in large car = 7

Total people in both type of cars = 72

Let,

x represent the number of small cars rented.

y represent the number of large cars rented.

According to given statement;

4x+7y=72 Eqn 1

y = 2x Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$4x+7(2x)=72\\4x+14x=72\\18x=72$

Dividing both sides by 18

$\frac{18x}{18}=\frac{72}{18}\\x=4$

Putting x=4 in Eqn 2

$y=2(4)\\y=8$

The students rented 4 small cars and 8 large cars.
