Container 1 has 174 lires of oil, Container 2 has 258 litres of oil. Sam pours entire contents of container 1 into smaller jars, so that the oil completely fills the jars and there is no oil left. He also pours the entire contents of container 2 into the same size jars so that there is no oil left. What can the maximum size of the smaller jars be?

The maximum size of the smaller jars is 6 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Container 1=174 liters of oil

Container 2=258 liters of oil

Same pours the entire content of container one and container 2 into the same number of smaller jars

The maximum size of the smaller jar can be found by finding the highest common factor of 174 and 258

Factors of 174=1,2,3,6,29

Factors of 258=1,2,3,6,43

Common factors of 174 and 258=1,2,3 and 6

Highest common factor=6

Therefore,

The maximum size of the smaller jars is 6 liters

3. parallelogram

step-by-step explanation:

we turn each of our sides into direction vectors

ab=b-a=(3 - 7, 1 - 0) = (-4, 1)

bc=c-b=(1,6)

cd=d-c=(4,-1)

da=a-d=(-1,-6)

we see how the opposite sides have negated direction vectors; this is characteristic of a parallelogram.   we have congruent sides ab=cd and bc=da with unequal lengths because 1^2+6^2 is different from (-4)^2+1^2.   so it's not a square or a rhombus.  

we check the dot product of direction vectors of adjacent sides.   we have

ab dot bc = -4(1) + 1(6) = 2

that's not zero so the sides are not perpendicular.   we've ruled out rectangle.

the direction vectors indicate two pairs of congruent parallel sides, so we choose parallelogram over trapezoid.
