The correct answer is:

C) isosceles; since a rhombus always has 4 equal sides, each triangle must have 2 equal sides.

Explanation:

A rhombus does have 2 acute angles and 2 obtuse angles. If you draw the diagonal from one obtuse angle to the other, then each triangle would have all acute angles and be acute triangles.

However, if you draw the diagonal from one acute angle to the other, then each triangle would have an obtuse angle, and be obtuse triangles.

The length of the diagonal does not have to equal the length of the sides, so the triangles will not necessarily be equilateral.

However, no matter where you draw the diagonal, you will have two congruent sides in each triangle (the sides of the rhombus that form the triangle). Thus the correct answer is C).

The domain of the function f(x) is where the area under the square root (aka the radicand) is positive or zero. We have to write that the radicand is greater than or equal to zero, so

$\dfrac{1}{2}x-10 \geq 0$ .

A man standing at point A walks 1 mile south, 3 miles east, 5 miles north, and 7 miles west to reach point B. The length of line

joja [24]

Answer: √32

Step-by-step explanation: so the displacement is north 4 and west 4 and it becomes a right triangle so the hypotenuse is the distance for segment AB

So Drawn out should like straight lines up,down,left,and right. So east is positive while west is negative same for North(+) and South(-)

I recommend sticking with 2 directions first. Starting with north and south right. First you go south 1 mile but then you go north 5miles in math terms

-1+5=4 or down one is one less than 5

Same for east and west. 3+-7 = -4

So we went positive 4 miles up and 4miles to the left

So (-4)^2+4^2= hypotenuse or AB segment in this case
