★ Sanya has a piece of land which is in the shape of a rhombus.

★ She wants her one daughter and one son to work on the land and produce different crops, for which she divides the land in two equal parts.

★ Perimeter of land = 400 m.

★ One of the diagonal = 160 m.

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{To \: Find :}}}}}}$

★ Area each of them [son and daughter] will get.

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}$

Let, ABCD be the rhombus shaped field and each side of the field be $x$

[ All sides of the rhombus are equal, therefore we will let the each side of the field be $x$ ]

Now,

• Perimeter = 400m

$\longrightarrow \tt AB+BC+CD+AD=400m$

$\longrightarrow \tt x + x + x + x=400$

$\longrightarrow \tt 4x=400$

$\longrightarrow \tt \: x = \dfrac{400}{4}$

$\longrightarrow \tt x= \red{100m}$

$\therefore$ Each side of the field = <u>100m</u><u>.</u>

Now, we have to find the area each [son and daughter] will get.

So, For $\triangle$ ABD,

Here,

• a = 100 [AB]

• b = 100 [AD]

• c = 160 [BD]

$\therefore \tt Simi \: perimeter \: [S] = \boxed{ \sf \dfrac{a + b + c}{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt S = \dfrac{100 + 100 + 160}{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt S = \cancel{ \dfrac{360}{2}}$

$\longrightarrow \tt S = 180m$

Using <u>herons formula</u><u>,</u>

$\star \tt Area \: of \: \triangle = \boxed{\bf{{ \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c) } }}} \star$

where

• s is the simi perimeter = 180m

• a, b and c are sides of the triangle which are 100m, 100m and 160m respectively.

<u>Putt</u><u>ing</u><u> the</u><u> values</u><u>,</u>

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{180(180 - 100)(180 - 100)(180 - 160) }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{180(80)(80)(20) }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{180 \times 80 \times 80 \times 20 }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{9 \times 20 \times 20 \times 80 \times 80}$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{ {3}^{2} \times {20}^{2} \times {80}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = 3 \times 20 \times 80$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \red{ 4800 \: {m}^{2} }$

Thus, area of $\triangle$ ABD = <u>4800 m²</u>

As both the triangles have same sides

So,

Area of $\triangle$ BCD = 4800 m²

<u>Therefore, area each of them [son and daughter] will get = 4800 m²</u>

Write the expression as a whole number with a negative exponent. Do not evaluate the expression.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: $\frac{1}{3^6}=3^{-6}$

Explanation: Denominators of a fraction can be equivalently written as their value to the power of negative 1. In this case the denominator expression itself has an exponent of 6, which taken to the power of negative one becomes -6:

$\frac{1}{3^6}=(3^6)^{-1}=3^{6(-1)}=3^{-6}$

Please help ASAP!!! Thank you so much!!! Just want confirm my answer it is y=150x-50. A concession stand at a football game took

jekas [21]

Answer: You have the correct answer. It is y = 150x-50

Nice work on getting the correct answer. For anyone curious, the explanation is below.

=============================================

x = number of hours the stand is open

y = amount earned

(1,100) is from the fact the stand is open 1 hour and earns $100

(3,400) is due to the stand earning $400 after 3 hours.

Slope Formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (400-100)/(3-1)

m = 300/2

m = 150 is the slope, and it is the amount earned per hour. It is the rate of change.

Use m = 150 and (x,y) = (1,100) to find the value of b as shown below

y = mx+b

100 = 150(1) + b

100 = 150 + b

100-150 = b

-50 = b

b = -50 is the y intercept and it is the starting amount they earn. The negative earning indicates that they spent $50 to set up the stand, which is the cost of buying the food, equipment, etc.

So we have m = 150 as the slope and b = -50 as the y intercept.

Therefore, y = mx+b turns into y = 150x-50.

-------

As a check, plugging in x = 1 should lead to y = 100

y = 150x-50

y = 150(1)-50

y = 150-50

y = 100 and indeed it does

The same should be the case with (3,400). Plug in x = 3 and we should get y = 400

y = 150x-50

y = 150(3)-50

y = 450-50

y = 400, we have confirmed the answer by showing that the line y = 150x-50 goes through the two points (1,100) and (3,400).
