On a coordinate plane, parallelogram R S T U has points (negative 4, 4), (2, 6), (6, 2), and (0, 0). What is the area of parallelogram RSTU? 24 square units 26 square units 32 square units 38 square units

The area of the parallelogram is;

32 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The coordinates of the parallelogram RSTU = R(-4, 4), S(2, 6), T(6, 2), and U(0, 0)

We note that the area of a parallelogram = Base length × Height

From the drawing of the parallelogram RSTU, we have;

The base length = The length of = The length of = √((2 - (-4))² + (6 - 4)²) = 2·√10

The height of a parallelogram is perpendicular to its base length = The line

∴ Where, the slope of the base length = m, the slope of the height = -1/m

The slope, 'm' of = (6 - 4)/(2 - (-4)) = 1/3

Therefore, the slope of the height = -1/(1/3) = -3

We note that a point on the height is the point 'T', therefore, the equation of the line in point and slope form is therefore;

y - 0 = -3·(x - 0)

∴ y = -3·x

Therefore, the coordinates of the point 'V' is given by the simultaneous solution of the equations of and

The equation of the line in point and slope form from the point 'R' and the slope 'm = 1/3' is given as follows;

y - 4 = (1/3) × (x - (-4)) = (1/3) × (x + 4)

y = x/3 + 4/3 + 4 = x/3 + 16/3

y = x/3 + 16/3

We then have the coordinate at the point 'V' (x, y) is given as follows;

-3·x = x/3 + 16/3

-9·x = x + 16

-10·x = 16

x = -16/10 = -1.6

x = -1.6

∴ y = -3·x = -3 × -1.6 = -4.8

y = 4.8

The coordinate at the point, V = (-1.6, 4.8)

The length of the line = The height of the parallelogram = √((-1.6 - 0)² + (4.8 - 0)²) = 8/5·√10

The height of the parallelogram = 8/5·√10

The area of the parallelogram, A = Base length × Height

∴ A = 2·√(10) × 8/5·√(10) = (16/5) × 10 = 32

The area of the parallelogram, A =  32 square units.

it would take 7/10 of an hour too fill the pool.

step-by-step explanation:

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

here, the total dishes = 10

dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = number of dishes having meat / total dishes

=

therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=

=

⇒ option b is correct.
