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

The product of the product of 7 and 2 and the product of 8 and p

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

((7*2)*(8p))

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of 7 and 2 basically means you multiply them. The product of 7 and 2 is 14 and the product of 8p cannot be known because p is undefined so keep it as 8p. the product of 14 and 8p is 112p but the answer I stated above is the unsimplified version.

The area of a triangle is 24 square inches. What is the height of the triangle if the base length is 6 inches?

evablogger [386]

I think that it would be 8 inches because to find the area of a triangle is base times height divided by two. So I just doubled the area and divided by 6.

I'm sorry if this is incorrect!

Nachelle is 1.45 meters tall. At 11 a.m., she measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 23.05 meters. She stands 18.9 meters

GREYUIT [131]

Step-by-step explanation:

this creates 2 similar triangles.

that means all angles are the same. and all the side lengths of one triangle correlate to the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle by the same multiplication factor.

her shadow is 23.05 - 18.9 = 4.15 m long.

the factor between the shadow lengths is then

4.15 × f = 23.05

f = 23.05 / 4.15 = 5.554216867...

the same factor now applies to the relation of the heights :

1.45 × 5.554216867... = 8.053614458... m

rounded the tree is 8.05 m tall.
