the dimensions of the piece of cardboard.
length of the cardboard = inches
width of the cardboard =

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry. how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.

Acompany manufactures three types of cabinets. it makes 110 cabinets each week. in the first week, the sum of the number of type-1 cabinets and twice the number of type-2 cabinets produced was 10 more than the number of type-3 cabinets produced. the next week, the number of type-1 cabinets produced was three times more than in the first week, no type-2 cabinets were produced, and the number of type-3 cabinets produced was the same as in the previous week.

Given: ae ≅ ce ; de ≅ be prove: abcd is a parallelogram. we have that ab || dc. by a similar argument used to prove that △aeb ≅ △ced, we can show that △ ≅ △ceb by. so, ∠cad ≅ ∠ by cpctc. therefore, ad || bc by the converse of the theorem. since both pair of opposite sides are parallel, quadrilateral abcd is a parallelogram.
