Find X and QT. The shape is a Rhombus

Mathematics
1 answer:
kompoz [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of a rhombus are equal.

⇒ QT = TS

⇒ x² - 4x - 10 = 6x + 14

⇒ x² - 10x - 24 = 0

⇒ x² + 2x - 12x - 24 = 0

⇒ x (x + 2) - 12 (x + 2) = 0

⇒ (x + 2)(x - 12) = 0

⇒ x = -2 or x = 12

Substitute both values and see which gives a positive value for QT :

<u>When x = -2</u> :

  • QT = (-2)² - 4(-2) - 10
  • QT = 4 + 8 - 10
  • QT = 2

<u>When x = 12</u> :

  • QT = (12)² - 4(12) - 10
  • QT = 144 - 48 - 10
  • QT = 86

The 2 possible answers are :

  • x = -2, QT = 2
  • x = 12, QT = 86

Find cos theta if sin theta=3/4 and theta lies in quadrant 2
GaryK [48]
By the Pythagorean theorem, the missing side is -sqrt7. The definition of sin is side opposite over hypotenuse, so go into Q2 and make an angle and label the side opposite the angle with a 3 and the hypotenuse a 4. The other leg is -sqrt7 cuz x is negative in Q2. The cosine of an angle is the side adjacent over the hypotenuse, so the cos then is -sqrt7/4

Can anyone help me with this geometry two column proof
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∠1 + ∠2 = 180                      Linear pair

∠4 + ∠5 +∠ 3 = 180             form straight line

∠1 + ∠2 = ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠3        from statement 1 and 2

∠3 +∠2 = ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠3          ∠1 and ∠3 are vertically opposite angles.

∠2 = ∠4 + ∠5                           Proved

SCUBA diving set
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Snorkel, mask, and flippers Slope: 2 (so in the equation, it would look like 2x).

Snorkel, mask, and flippers Y-intercept: 10 (12 - 2 = 10, which is 0 hours, possibly the initial amount)

Snorkel, mask, and flippers Slope intercept form: y = 2x + 10
