A(0,0), B (a,0), C(a+b,c), D(b,c) A(0,0), B(a,0), C(a,b), D (-a,b) A(0,0), B(2a,0), C(a,b), D(-2a,b) A(0,0), B(a,0, C(a-b,c), D(b,c) I would try to figure it out by plotting but values are mostly variables. And, even if I could plot it, there must be a short-cut pattern to spot parallelogram coordinates.Thanks in advance.

X = 3 Y=2 Y=3/2 X=2/3 I am tempted to go with y=2 since that is a vertical line that would be parallel to the y-axis= BUT wouldn't it pass through itself if the given point is (3,2)?Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:22:45 +0000http://www.tutoranswer.com:8080/question/GEOMETRY_302http://www.tutoranswer.com:8080/question/GEOMETRY_300 Which represents a possible intersection of a line and rectabgle? Possible answers: 0 points, 3 points, 4 points, 1 point. I would think that intersection means one point but not certain.Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:42:57 +0000http://www.tutoranswer.com:8080/question/GEOMETRY_300http://www.tutoranswer.com:8080/question/GEOMETRY_TRIG_298Plane\'s altitude is 3,000 ft.

If the prisms are SIMILAR with LINEAR ratio of 3:2, what is the VOLUME of the smaller prism. Answer choices are 50, 56, 252, 126. Since the ratio of 3/2 is a LINEAR one rather than a volume one, I took the cubed root of 168 and got 5.517. Then I solved for x in a 3/2 ratio and got 3.678. Then I set up the ratio of 5.517 : 3.678 :: 3:2. That got me 112 which I was certain was the answer. But the above choices exclude 112. What am I doing wrong?

Tower is 150 m tall and ANGLE OF DEPRESSION to fire is 10 degrees. About how far is the fire from the foot of the tower. (MULTIPLE CHOICE: 148, 753, 863, 851.) I tried tangent of 10 (depression angle) but no luck. I tried tangent of 80, no luck. I think the formula TANGENT of angle = opposite side/adjacent side but no luck.

I am fouling up the algebra somehow, so I\\\'m not getting the same radius as the book I am working from. Here is the original problem: x^2 + y^2 + 4y + 2x - 20 = 0 The book says I should get to the following step in the process of completing the square: x^2 + y^2 - 4y + 2y - 4 = 0 But I just don\\\'t see where the -4y or the - 4 is coming from. I get the following next step instead: (x^2 + 2x + 1) + (y^2 - 4y + 4) = 20 + 1 + 4 This takes me to: (x + 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 25 then, 25 = r^2 so r = 5 But, I should be coming up with r = 3 Help!Thu, 06 May 2010 23:54:03 +0000http://www.tutoranswer.com:8080/question/conic_sections_puzzler_264http://www.tutoranswer.com:8080/question/Another_geometry_problem_207For an isosceles triangle, ABC, a line is drawn from the vertex, A, that interscects the base BC at a point D where D is not the midpoint of BC.

So I am going to post two geometry problems. 1) We have a general triangle ABC. Choose a point P on one side such as BC. From point P draw a straight line to cut the area of triangle in two equal parts. 2) The area and the volume of a sphere are both 4digit integers multiplied by PI.Find the radius, area and volume of this peculiar sphere.
