Type Your Question Go!!! Answer by jim_thompson5910(34119) About Me  (Show Source):You can put this solution on YOUR website!I'm assuming that the triangle is a right triangle and that side 3 is the hypotenuse. 

We basically have this triangle set up: 
 Since we can see that the triangle has legs of 8 and x with a hypotenuse of 12, we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side. 

Pythagoreans theorem: 
a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2 where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse 


8%5E2%2Bx%5E2=12%5E2 Plug in a=8, b=x, and c=12. Now lets solve for x 

6+4+%2B++x++%5E+2+=+1+4+4 Square each individual term 
 


+x++%5E+2+=+1+4+4+-+6+4 Subtract 64 from both sides 

+x++%5E+2+=+8+0 Combine like terms 

s+q+r+t+%28++x++%5E+2+%29+=+s+q+r+t+%28+8+0+%29 Take the square root of both sides 

x=4%2Asqrt%285%29 Simplify the square root 

Which approximates to... x+=+8+.+9+4+4+2+7+1+9+0+9+9+9+9+1+6 
So our answer is x+=+8+.+9+4+4+2+7+1+9+0+9+9+9+9+1+6....

Since the lines are perpendicular the opposite angle of labeled is also 60° and so would the two angles on the the lower just opposite way therefore 8x-4=60

The following figure is a rhombus. Find the value of m. Then, use that value to find the measure of VW
maxonik [38]

Answer:

  • m=8
  • The length of VW = 36 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a rhombus is a quadrilateral with four sides. All four sides have the same length.

From the diagram, it is clear that

  • The length of VW= 6m-12
  • The length of WX = 4m+4

As all the four sides of the rhombus have equal length.

So we can observe

VW=WX

6m-12 = 4m+4

Add 12 to both sides

6m-12+12=4m+4+12

6m=4m+16

2m=16

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2m}{2}=\frac{16}{2}

m=8

so

The length of VW= 6m-12

                             = 6(8)-12  ∵ m=8

                              = 48-12

                              = 36

Thereofore, the length of VW = 36 units.
