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

What is the value of x in the equation 2x+3y=36y when y=6?
jonny [76]

Answer:

y = 6 so

2x + 3y = 36y is equal to:

2x + 3*6 = 36*6

-> 2x + 18 = 216

We must now move 18 to the other side of the equation. As we do that, we also change it's sign to negative 18:

2x = 216 - 18

We simplify this

2x = 198

Now, that we got to this point, we know that 2x is equal to 198. To find x we must divide the both sides of the equation by two:

2x/2 = 198/2

And we get that

x = 99
