A parallelogram has a 70 degree angle and sides 6 cm and 10 cm long. How long are its diagonals?

1 answer:

6 0

Let the shorter diagonal be x, then
x^2 = 6^2 + 10^2 - 2 x 6 x 10 x cos 70 = 36 + 100 - 120 cos 70 = 136 - 41.04 = 94.96
x = sqrt(94.96) = 9.7 cm

The other angle of the parallelogram is 1/2(360 - 2(70)) = 1/2(360 - 140) = 1/2(220) = 110
Let the longer diagonal be y, then
y^2 = 6^2 + 10^2 - 2 x 6 x 10 x cos 110 = 36 + 100 - 120 cos 110 = 136 + 41.04 = 177.04
y = sqrt(177.04) = 13.3 cm.

Therefore, the length of the diagonals are 9.7 cm and 13.3 cm.

At a gas station, the price of a regular gas was $3.80 per gallon on monday. the price increased to $3.85 per gallon on tuesday.

notsponge [240]

Monday's gas, $3.80 rounded to the nearest tenth of a dollar would be $3.80 (its already there)
Tuesday' gas, $3.85 rounded to the nearest tenth of a dollar would be $3.90
Hope this helps!! and if you ever need anything else just ask! :)

A wrestling match has eliminations each round. The table below shows the number of wrestlers in each of the first 4 rounds of th

AlladinOne [14]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
round(x)&\boxed{1}&2&3&\boxed{4}\\\\
wrestlers[f(x)]&\boxed{64}&32&18&\boxed{9}
\end{array}
\\\\\\
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ f(x_2)}}-{{ f(x_1)}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average\ rate\\
of\ change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)= \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=1\\
x_2=4
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(4)-f(1)}{4-1}\implies \cfrac{9-64}{4-1}\implies \cfrac{-55}{3}$

55 over 3, or 55 wrestlers for every 3 rounds, but the wrestlers value is negative, thus 55 "less" wrestlers for every 3 rounds on average.
