A rhombus ABCD has AB = 10 and m∠A = 60°. Find the lengths of the diagonals of ABCD.

melisa1 [442]

Three important properties of the diagonals of a rhombus that we need for this problem are:
1. the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other
2. the diagonals form two perpendicular lines
3. the diagonals bisect the angles of the rhombus

First, we can let O be the point where the two diagonals intersect (as shown in the attached image). Using the properties listed above, we can conclude that ∠AOB is equal to 90° and ∠BAO = 60/2 = 30°.

Since a triangle's interior angles have a sum of 180°, then we have ∠ABO = 180 - 90 - 30 = 60°. This shows that the ΔAOB is a 30-60-90 triangle.

For a 30-60-90 triangle, the ratio of the sides facing the corresponding anges is 1:√3:2. So, since we know that AB = 10, we can compute for the rest of the sides.

$\overline{OB}:\overline{AB} = 1:2$
$\overline {OB}:10 = 1:2$
$\overline{OB} = \frac{1}{2}(10) = 5$

Similarly, we have

$\overline{AO}:\overline{AB} = \sqrt{3}:2$
$\overline {AO}:10 = \sqrt{3}:2$
$\overline{AO} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(10) = 5\sqrt{3}$

Now, to find the lengths of the diagonals,

$\overline{AD} = 2(\overline{AO}) = 10\sqrt{3}$
$\overline{BC} = 2(\overline{OB}) = 10$

So, the lengths of the diagonals are 10 and 10√3.

Answer: 10 and 10√3 units

9x-2y=11 5x-2y=15 what is the solution to the above system of equations ASAP

natali 33 [55]

9x - 2y = 11 ... (i)

5x - 2y = 15 ... (ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from (i) we get;

4x + 0 = -4

4x=-4 , x = -1

Replacing x = -1 in equation (i) we get;

9(-1) - 2y = 11

-9 - 2y = 11

-2y = 20

y = 20 ÷ -2 = -10

The solution to the system of equations is (-1,-10).

AB is the angle bisector of ∠CAD. Solve for x.

Sliva [168]

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB is a bisector, it cuts the angle in half, and since we know that the angle is a right angle, we know it’s 90 degrees, so knowing that you use the equation 7x-4= 45 (since 45 is half of 90), add 4 to both sides so you have 7x=49, the divide 49 by 7 and you get 7, so x= 7

A bag contains different colored candies. There are 50 candies in the bag, 28 are red, 10 are blue, 8 are green and 4 are yellow

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{54}{5405}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

How many unique combinations are possible in total?

This question takes 5 objects randomly out of a bag of 50 objects. The order in which these objects come out doesn't matter. Therefore, the number of unique choices possible will the sames as the combination

$\displaystyle \left(50\atop 5\right) = 2,118,760$ .

How many out of that 2,118,760 combinations will satisfy the request?

Number of ways to choose 2 red candies out a batch of 28:

$\displaystyle \left( 28\atop 2\right) = 378$ .

Number of ways to choose 3 green candies out of a batch of 8:

$\displaystyle \left(8\atop 3\right)=56$ .

However, choosing two red candies out of a batch of 28 red candies does not influence the number of ways of choosing three green candies out of a batch of 8 green candies. The number of ways of choosing 2 red candies and 3 green candies will be the product of the two numbers of ways of choosing

$\displaystyle \left( 28\atop 2\right) \cdot \left(8\atop 3\right) = 378\times 56 = 21,168$ .

The probability that the 5 candies chosen out of the 50 contain 2 red and 3 green will be:

$\displaystyle \frac{21,168}{2,118,760} = \frac{54}{5405}$ .
