If it is a rhombus then you know each side is the same length, so only have to work out one side. To do this you have to use Pythagoras' theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
So take two sets of coordinates, for example, (0,3) and (5,3), a and b represent the height difference and the length difference. Therefore (5-0)^2 + (3-3)^2 = c^2
c^2 = 25
c = 5 , which would be the side of the rhombus
71000 is in the standard form of 7.1 x 10^-3 .
Step-by-step explanation:
I wish if I could explain you with steps but this is the question I've never done with steps. I always give direct answers from those questions !!
Answer:
C. 3,960
Step-by-step explanation:
∆ADB ~ ∆EDC. Therefore,
(substitution)
Solve for x
Cross multiply
5x - 3x = 7,920
2x = 7,920
x = 7,920/2
x = 3,960 meters
The right answer is -13/12.
Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
