The answer should be 24 square units.
5 is the hypotenuse and the one we need is the base and the height. They gave us the height, which was 6 in total but 3 for the triangle. But we needed to find the base.
In order to do that, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
3^2+b^2=5^2
9+b^2=25
Subtract 9 from both sides
b^2=16
Then square root both sides.
b=4.
Now that we have the base, you can then find the area of the triangle.
BH/2
4*3/2
12/2
6
So one triangle equals to 6. Then multiply that by 4 to find the area of the rhombus. Which would be 24 square units.
Y - 5 = -2x - 4
Add 5 on both sides.
y = -2x + 1
y = -2x + 1 is in simplest form.
143 x 2 = 286 because if you mulitpy each by 2 you get 286
