Answer:

Answer:10.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the short side be x.

Then the long side is 3x.

There are two opposite sides of each length, so the perimeter is

3x + 3x + x + x = 8x

The perimeter is 29, so we get the equation

8x = 29

Solve for x by dividing both sides by 8.

x = 29/8

x = 3.625

The longer side is 3x.

3x = 3(3.625) = 10.875

Answer: 10.875

The coordinates of rhombus ABCD are A(–4, –2), B(–2, 6), C(6, 8), and D(4, 0). What is the area of the rhombus? Round to the nea
a_sh-v [17]
Check the picture below.

so the rhombus has the diagonals of AC and BD, now keeping in mind that the diagonals bisect each, namely they cut each other in two equal halves, let's find the length of each.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
A(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad 
C(\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{8})\qquad \qquad 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{[6-(-4)]^2+[8-(-2)]^2}\implies AC=\sqrt{(6+4)^2+(8+2)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{10^2+10^2}\implies AC=\sqrt{10^2(2)}\implies \boxed{AC=10\sqrt{2}}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
B(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad 
D(\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0})\qquad \qquad BD=\sqrt{[4-(-2)]^2+[0-6]^2}
\\\\\\
BD=\sqrt{(4+2)^2+(-6)^2}\implies BD=\sqrt{6^2+6^2}
\\\\\\
BD=\sqrt{6^2(2)}\implies \boxed{BD=6\sqrt{2}}

that simply means that each triangle has a side that is half of 10√2 and another side that's half of 6√2.

namely, each triangle has a "base" of 3√2, and a "height" of 5√2, keeping in mind that all triangles are congruent, then their area is,

\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of the four congruent triangles}}{4\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(3\sqrt{2})(5\sqrt{2}) \right]\implies 4\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(15\cdot (\sqrt{2})^2) \right]}\implies 4\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(15\cdot 2) \right]
\\\\\\
4[15]\implies 60

What is the solution to the following system of equations?
fenix001 [56]

Answer: (5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 3y =5 -----------(1)

2x + y = 10 ----------(2)

By elimination method, multiply eqn(1) by 2

2x - 6y = 10 ------------(3)

eqn(3) - eqn(2)

-7y = 0

Divide bothside by -7

y= 0

Now, we substitute the value of y in eqn(1)

x - 3(0) = 5

x - 0 = 5

x=5

Therefore,x=5 and y=0
