Hi there! :)

<u>Answer:</u>

Length of the second diagonal: 54 cm

Area of the rhombus: 1,944 cm²


Step-by-step explanation:

1) To find the value of the second diagonal, you first need to know some important properties of rhombuses:

Since the perimeter is 180, and by definition a rhombus has four congruent sides (of equal length), each side length of the rhombus is equal to 45.

The diagonals of rhombuses also form four right triangles, with hypotenuses equal to the side length of the rhombus and legs equal to half the lengths of the diagonals. In this case one hypotenuse would be equal to 45 and one leg would be equal to 36 (72 ÷ 2 = 36).

We can therefore use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for one-half of the unknown diagonal:

c² = a² + b² → Where "c" is the hypotenus & "a" and "b" are the two other sides.

<u>45² = 36² + b²</u> → Where "b" is the half of the unknown diagonal.

We can now solve this equation for "b":

<u>45²</u> = <u>36²</u> + b²

45² = <u>2,025</u>

36² = <u>1,296</u>

2,025 = <u>1,296</u> + b²

Subtract "1,296" from each side of the equation → 2,025 - 1,296 = <u>729</u>

729 = b<u>²</u>

Square root on each side of the equation → √729 = <u>27</u>

<u>27 = b</u>

Since "b" represents half of the unknown diagonal, we need to multiply by 2 to find the full length of the diagonal:

27 × 2 = <u>54 ⇒ Length of the other diagonal.</u>


2) To find the area of the rhombus, you need to multiply the length of the 2 diagonals and divide the answer by 2:

<u>(72 × 54)</u> ÷ 2 = A

Multiply "72" & "54" together → 72 × 54 = <u>3,888</u>

<u>3,888 ÷ 2</u> = A

<u>1,944 = A</u>


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Which steps would you use to solve this equation? Check all that apply.
Dovator [93]

Answer: The answers are

  1. Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation.
  2. Subtract 7 from 7.
  3. Substitute 5 for p to check the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

p + 7 = 12

=   p + 7 - 7 = 12 - 7

=   p = 5

Then for the substituting part

5 + 7 = 12

Hope this helps!

The price of a cycle is reduced by 25 per cent. The new price is reduced by a further 20 per cent.Find the single reduction the
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

40%  . The single reduction together is 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bicycle cost is   x before reduced price.

First 25% is reduced  and again 20% further reduced.

Let the single reduction is y% if the two reduction together are equal.

Solution,

Case .1

reduction cost=x\times 25%%

=x\times 25/100

=x/4

The cost of bicycle after reduction of 25% is

=x-x/4=3x/4

cost of reduction further reduction of 20%      =3x/4\times 20%

=3x\times 20/(4\times 100)

=3x/20

The new cost of bicycle is further reduction of 20% is

=3x/4-3x/20

=\left ( 15x-3x \right )/20

=12x/20=3x/5

Case.2

if single reduction is done new cost of cycle is equal

x-x\times y%=3x/5

x\left ( 1-y/100 \right )=3x/5

\left ( 100-y \right )/100=3/5

100-y=60

y=40%

single reduction of a cycle is 40%
