Answer:
In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect at right angles. That means half the diagonals form a right angle triangle then we can try the Pythagorean theorem. so -
one side of triangle = 6/2 =3 (half of the diagonal)
other side = 8/2 = 4
a^2 + b^2 = c2
3 ^2 + 4^2 = c^2
9+16 = c^2
c^2=25
c = = 5
the hypothenus forms one side of the rhombus and here the hypothenus is 5, so the lenght of a side is 5 !
Answer:
6.78ft/sec
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, dx/dt= 3.9 ft/sec
We are looking for Dy/dt
From geometry,vof this case the relationship between x and y is needed here, there is two similar triangle that exhibited by the man and the lamb
12/y= 5.1/(y-x)
Then ,cross multiply, we have
12(y-x)=5.1y
12y-12x=5.1y
12y-5.1y=12x
6.9y=12x
y=( 12/6.9)x
Differentiating implicitly the bother sides with respect to t, we have
Dy/dt= ( 12/6.9)dx/dt
But dx/dt= 3.9 ft/sec
Then Dy/dt= ( 12/6.9)× 3.9
Dy/dt=6.78ft/sec
Hence, the rate that the tip of the person's shadow moves away from the lamppost when the person is 9 ft away from the lampost is 6.78ft/sec
