Answer:
b. about 91.7 cm and 44.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths of the diagonals can be found using the Law of Cosines.
Consider the triangle(s) formed by a diagonal. The two given sides will form the other two sides of the triangle, and the corner angles of the parallelogram will be the measure of the angle between those sides (opposite the diagonal).
For diagonal "d" and sides "a" and "b" and corner angle D, we have ...
d² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(D)
The measure of angle D will either be the given 132°, or the supplement of that, 48°. We can use the fact that the cosines of an angle and its supplement are opposites. This means the diagonal measures will be ...
d² = 60² +40² -2·60·40·cos(D) ≈ 5200 ±4800(0.66913)
d² ≈ {1988.2, 8411.8}
d ≈ {44.6, 91.7} . . . . centimeters
The diagonals are about 91.7 cm and 44.6 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The solutions are 2 and 5
Because it's asking what would make the triangles congruent, you would set up the equation like this because the angles (angle 3 and angle 4) need to be equal:
x^2 = 7x - 10
Next, you add 10 to both sides. This is so that you can move it to the other side, addition is the inverse of subtraction.
x^2 + 10 = 7x
Now subtract 7x from both sides. Subtraction is the inverse of addition. You do this to get it on the other side so you can factor it. You can move the 10 and 7x to the other side in any order or at the same time, I just did it like this.
x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0
Now, factor. I don't really know how to explain factoring, you just get a feel for it with a lot of practice.
(x - 2)(x - 5) = 0
You can use FOIL to check this if you want to. x(x) is x^2, -2(-5) is 10), -2x - -5x is -7x. Now, find what you need to do to make what's in each of the groups of parentheses equal to 0.
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
One of the solutions is 2, because you add 2 to x to get 0.
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
The other solution is 5, because you add 5 to x to get 0. Lastly, check your solutions by plugging them in to the original equation.
2^2 = 7(2) - 10
4 = 14 - 10
So 2 is definitely a solution.
5^2 = 7(5) - 10
25 = 35 - 10
5 is also a solution.
