Answer:
16.51
Step-by-step explanation:
In a parallelogram, the opposite angles are always equal in measure. So two of the angles in the parallelogram measure 39 degrees each.
The sum of angles of the parallelogram must be 360 degrees. Let the other two angles be x degree each. We can set up the following equation for the angles:
39 + 39 + x + x = 360
78 + 2x = 360
2x = 282
x = 141
This means, the other two angles measure 141 degree each. The shorter diagonal will be opposite to the shorter angle.
Hence, the diagonal opposite to the angle 39 degree will be the shorter one. A diagonal divides the parallelogram in two triangles. So we will have two sides and an included angle and we have to find the third side of the triangle which can be found using the law of cosines. Let the third side be c as shown in image below, using the law of cosines, we can write:
Thus the shorter diagonal will be 16.51 feet in measure.
<h3>Answer: 5/9</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
means that the 5's go on forever because of that horizontal bar over top. So we can write it as
The three dots indicate it goes on forever following that pattern.
Let
x = 0.55555....
Multiply both sides by 10 to move the decimal point 1 spot to the right
10x = 5.55555....
Notice how both x and 10x involve a decimal number such that we have a string of 5's going on forever. If we subtract the two equations, then 10x-x becomes 9x, while the (5.55555....) - (0.55555....) simplifies to 5. The decimal portions cancel out when we subtract since they line up perfectly. We're effectively subtracting 5-0 when we cross off the decimal portions.
After those subtractions, we're left with 9x = 5 which solves to x = 5/9 when you divide both sides by 9.
Use of a calculator should show that 5/9 = 0.555555.... to help confirm the answer. Your calculator may show the last digit to be a 6 instead of a 5, but this is due to rounding. Ideally you should have a string of infinitely many 5's, but the calculator can only how so many digits.
