Quadrilateral JKLM is a rhombus. The diagonals intersect at N. If angle JNK equals 5x - 15, find the value of x.

One property of a rhombus is that the diagonals are perpendicular. This means that the diagonals intersect at 90 degree angles (right angles).

So we know that angle JNK is 90 degrees

angle JNK = 90 degrees
5x - 15 = 90
5x - 15 + 15 = 90+15
5x = 105
5x/5 = 105/5
x = 21

Answer: x = 21

Y is directly proportional to x,and y=216 when x=2. Find y when x=7.

makkiz [27]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=216\\
x=2
\end{cases}\implies 216=k2\implies \cfrac{216}{2}=k
\\\\\\
108=k\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{y=108x}
\\\\\\
\textit{when x = 7, what is \underline{y}?}\qquad y=108(7)$
