ANSWER:

x = 55°

The value of 'x' is equivalent to 55°.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The rhombus in the rectangle is a regular rhombus. It has two pairs of parralell sides.

Therefore, we can use co-interior angles on parallel lines to solve this problem. Co-interior angles are two angles on parallel lines which form a 'C' shape and add up to 180°.

THEREFORE:

( 2x + 20 )° + ( 50 )° = 180°

2x = 180 - 20 - 50

2x = 110

x = 110 / 2

x = 55°

U(8, 9) and V(2, 5) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint M of that line segment?

Pavel [41]

Answer:

The midpoint M is (5,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

$m = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

U(8,9)

V(2,5)

m = [(8+2)/2 , (9+5)/2]

= [(10/2) , (14/2)]

= (5,7)

A rhombus ABCD has AB = 10 and m∠A = 60°. Find the lengths of the diagonals of ABCD.

melisa1 [442]

Three important properties of the diagonals of a rhombus that we need for this problem are:
1. the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other
2. the diagonals form two perpendicular lines
3. the diagonals bisect the angles of the rhombus

First, we can let O be the point where the two diagonals intersect (as shown in the attached image). Using the properties listed above, we can conclude that ∠AOB is equal to 90° and ∠BAO = 60/2 = 30°.

Since a triangle's interior angles have a sum of 180°, then we have ∠ABO = 180 - 90 - 30 = 60°. This shows that the ΔAOB is a 30-60-90 triangle.

For a 30-60-90 triangle, the ratio of the sides facing the corresponding anges is 1:√3:2. So, since we know that AB = 10, we can compute for the rest of the sides.

$\overline{OB}:\overline{AB} = 1:2$
$\overline {OB}:10 = 1:2$
$\overline{OB} = \frac{1}{2}(10) = 5$

Similarly, we have

$\overline{AO}:\overline{AB} = \sqrt{3}:2$
$\overline {AO}:10 = \sqrt{3}:2$
$\overline{AO} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(10) = 5\sqrt{3}$

Now, to find the lengths of the diagonals,

$\overline{AD} = 2(\overline{AO}) = 10\sqrt{3}$
$\overline{BC} = 2(\overline{OB}) = 10$

So, the lengths of the diagonals are 10 and 10√3.

Answer: 10 and 10√3 units
