Answer:
D. 13
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 5
2 x 5 + 3 = 13
5 + 8 = 13
meaning the side length has to be 13, also.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
To make it easy let's start by organizing our information :
- AC=12 AND BD=8
- ABCD is a rhombus
- K and L are the midpoints of sides AD and CD
- we notice that the rhombus ABCD is divided into four right triangles
What do you think of when you hear a right triangle ?
- The pythagorian theorem !
AC and BD are khown so let's focus on them .
If we concentrated we can notice that AB and BD are cossing each other in the midpoints . why ?
Simply because they are the diagonals of a rhombus .
ow let's apply the pythagorian theorem :
- (AC/2)² + (BD/2)² = BC²
- 6²+4²=52
- BC²= 52⇒
=BC
Now we khow that : AB=BC=CD=AD=
This isn't enough . Let's try to figure out a way to calculate the length of KL wich is the base of the triangle
- KL is parallel to AC
- k is the midpoint of AD and L of DC
I smell something . yes! Thales theorem
- KL/AC=DL/DC=DK/AD WE4LL TAKE OLY ONE
- KL/12=
/2*
- KL/12=1/2⇒ KL=6
Now we have the length of the base kl
Now the big boss the height :
- notice that you khow the length of KL
- BD crosses kl from its midpoint and DL =
/2
What I want to do is to apply the pythgorian thaorem to khow the lenght of that small part that is not a part of the height of the triangle . I will call it D
- DL²=(KL/2)²+D²
- 52/4= 9+ D²
- D² = 52/4-9 +4 SO D=2
now the height of the trigle is H= BD-D= 8-2=6
NOw the area of the triangle is :
- A=(KL*H)/2 ⇒ A= (6*6)/2=18
THE ANSWER IS 18 SQ.UN
Answer:
n=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
2(n+5)=-2
distribute
2(n+5)
2xn 2x5
2n+10
2n+10=-2
subtract 10 from both sides
10-10=0
-2-10=-12
2n=-12
divide each side by 2
2n/2=n
-12/2=-6
n=-6
