Answer:

The area of a rhombus is 18\sqrt{3} square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Side length of rhombus = 6 units.

Interior angle of rhombus = 120°

another Interior angle of rhombus = 180°-120° = 60°.

Draw an altitude.

In a right angled triangle

\sin \theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

\sin (60)=\frac{h}{6}

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{h}{6}

Multiply both sides by 6.

3\sqrt{3}=h

The height of the rhombus is 3\sqrt{3}.

Area of a rhombus is

Area=base\times height

Area=6\times 3\sqrt{3}

Area=18\sqrt{3}

Therefore, the area of a rhombus is 18\sqrt{3} square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rhombus be $ABCD$, where $\angle DAB = 120^\circ$. Then $\angle ABC = 180^\circ - \angle DAB = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ$.

[asy] unitsize(1 cm); pair A, B, C, D; A = (0,1); B = (sqrt(3),0); C = (0,-1); D = (-sqrt(3),0); draw(A--B--C--D--cycle); draw(A--C); label("$A$", A, N); label("$B$", B, E); label("$C$", C, S); label("$D$", D, W); label("$6$", (A + D)/2, NW); [/asy]

Since $AB = BC$, triangle $ABC$ is equilateral. By the same argument, triangle $ACD$ is also equilateral. Each triangle has area

\[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \cdot 6^2 = 9 \sqrt{3},\]so the area of the rhombus is $2 \cdot 9 \sqrt{3} = \boxed{18 \sqrt{3}}$.

A tennis racket at at sport city costs $180 and is discounted 15% the same model racket costs$200 at tennis world and is on sale
MaRussiya [10]
Mate, stop repeating questions, wait until your question has been answered.


15% of 180 is (180 * 0.15) = 27.

180 - 27 = $153 paid.


20% of 200 = (200 * 0.2) = 40.

200 - 40 = $160 paid.


Therefore Sport City offered the better deal.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

30 people

Step-by-step explanation:

If you start off with 1/2 a lemon for 6 people, then 1 whole would be 12. 1 1/2 would be 18 people and 2 whole lemons would be 24. so 2 1/2 is 30 people.

0.75 tons of dirt cost $150.00. what is the price per pound of there are 2000 pounds in a ton
raketka [301]

we are given

1 ton = 2000 pounds

so,

0.75 ton=2000*0.75 pounds

0.75 ton=1500 pounds

0.75 tons of dirt = cost 150

so,

1500 pounds of dirt =$150

1 pound of dirt =$(150/1500)

1 pound dirt = cost $ 0.1..............Answer
