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 first thing to do is turn this into an equation:
2/3 ÷ 10

10 as a fraction is 10/1
2/3 ÷ 10/1 =

Fractional division is just fractional multiplication after switching the numerator and the denominator of the second fraction:
2/3 X 10/1

Fractional multiplication is simply multiplying the numerators by each other, and the denominators by each other:
2 X 10 = 20
3 X 1 = 3

20/3

Each piece of liquorice will be 20/3 or 6 2/3 of a yard long.
