A rhombus has four equal sides. If the perimeter of this rhombus is 164, then the length of one side is 164/4, or 41.

Draw this rhombus. Label all four sides with "41." Label the longer diagonal 80 and the half length of that diagonal 40. You will see inside the rhombus four congruent triangles with hypotenuse 41, leg 10 and unknown height. Thus, this unknown height is found by solving x^2 + 40^2 = 41^2, and x^2=9, so that the length of the shorter diagonal is 2(2) = 18 (answer).

What is the distance rounded to the nearest tenth between the points (2 -2) and (6 3)

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The distance between the points is approximately 6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given coordinates of the points are;

(2, -2), and (6, 3)

The distance between two points, 'A', and 'B', on the coordinate plane given their coordinates, (x₁, y₁), and (x₂, y₂) can be found using following formula;

$l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}}$

Substituting the known 'x', and 'y', values for the coordinates of the points, we have;

$l_{(2, \, -2), \ (6, \, 3) } = \sqrt{\left (3-(-2) \right )^{2}+\left (6-2 \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{5^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{41}$

Therefore, the distance between the points, (2, -2), and (6, 3) = √(41) ≈ 6.4.

Which expression is equivalent to (7 + 2i)(-3 - 4i)?

malfutka [58]

B -13 -34i

(7 + 2i)(-3 - 4i)
Take the 7 then times it buy the second bracket 7x(-3-4i) then take 2i from the first bracket and times it with the second bracket 2ix (-3-4i)

Then keep simplifying
