1) Find the length of the diagonals of the greater rhombus

NJ=9 units

XY=6 units

Find the the ratio

NJ/XY=9/6-------> 3/2

2) Find the length of the diagonals of the smaller rhombus

HS=6 units

ZC=4 units

Find the the ratio

HS/ZC=6/4-------> 3/2

NJ/XY=HS/ZC--------> the rhombus are similar

the scale factor is equal to ------> 3/2=1.5

measure greater rhombus =scale factor*measure smaller rhombus

measure greater rhombus =1.5*measure smaller rhombus

measure smaller rhombus=(measure greater rhombus/1.5)

therefore

the answer is

Yes , they are a scaled copies and the scale factor is equal to 1.5

Solve the inequality |x − 6| − 10 < 1 Write the answer as a compound inequality

Tju [1.3M]

|x-6| < 1 + 10 (move 10 to the right side)
|x-6| < 11

1)x-6 < 11 (here x >= 6)
2)-x+6 < 11 (here x < 6)

1)x<17
2)x>-5

so we get -5 < x < 17

the answer: (-5; 17)

Answer to question one pleaseeeee help !!

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The answer is 19.6 cm^2

you should find the height of the triangle by heron formula: it will be 9.8

so the area is
$(9.8 \times 4 ) \div 2= 39.2 \div 2 = 19.6$

good luck

If AC = 20 centimeters, and BC = 16 centimeters, which does AB equal?

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The answer is B. 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC is a right triangle

AB and BC are the legs and AC is the hypotenuse.

The Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 can be manipulated to solve for a and get 12.
