YWXZ is a rhombus with diagonals that intersect at point S. Side WX measures 4a + 12. Side XZ measures 6a. Find the value of a.

1 answer:

5 0

The rhombus is quadrilateral whose:

i) diagonals are perpendicular

AND

ii) lengths of all sides are equal.

So, by the definition of being a rhombus, |WX|=|XZ|

thus,

4a+12=6a
12=2a
a=6

Answer: 6

Find the solution<br> x/5 - 1/5 = x/3 + 1/4

Vilka [71]

Answer:

x = - 27/8

$x=-3\frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

¹²⁾x/5 - ¹²⁾1/5 = ²⁰⁾x/3 + ¹⁵⁾1/4

12x - 12 = 20x + 15

- 12 - 15 = 20x - 12x

- 27 = 8x

x = - 27/8

$x=-3\frac{3}{8}$

Pete asks Buzz to make a triangular truss with sides that are 5 feet, 6 feet, and 9 feet. Is this enough information for Buzz to

Georgia [21]

Answer: Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the criteria of congruence for triangles is SSS, this means that when we know that two triangles have all the same side lengths, the triangles are congruent. This would mean that all the triangles with the same side lengths are rotations or translations of the same triangle.

Then, when we know the measures of the 3 sides of a triangle, we have only one possible triangle to make, which would mean that Buzz has enough information to make a truss with the correct size and shape.
