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 $2 \cdot 9 \sqrt{3} = \boxed{18 \sqrt{3}}$.

When a number is tripled,the results is -33
defon

Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering tripled means multiplied by 3 because of tri, we know that we can use the equation 3x = -33.

To solve this we can divide both sides by 3:

3x = -33

x = -11

This gives our answer of -11.

Jensen is building a snow fort. Each block in the fort weighs about 1 kilogram. Jensen hopes to make about 40 blocks for the for
babymother [125]

Answer: 13,333 snowflakes

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise let be "x" represents the number of snowflakes that will be in the fort.

According to the information given in the exercise, the weight of one block is 1 kilogram. Knowing that the fort must have 40 blocks, the total weight is:

total\ weight=(1\ g)(40)\\\\total\ weight=40\ g

 Since each snowflake weighs 3* 10^{-3} grams, need to divide the total weight calculated above by the weight of a snowfake.

Therefore, through this procedure you get the following result:

x=\frac{40\ grams}{3 * 10 ^{-3}\ grams}\\\\x\approx13,333

Therefore, the there will be 13,333 snowflakes in the fort.

How much will have to deposit into an account that pays 5.25% simple interest today, in order to earn $345.45 interest in seven
Ann [662]

To earn $345.45 simple interest in 7 years, you have to invest $940.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given details are Simple Interest Rate (R) = 5.25%, Simple Interest (SI) = $345.45, Time (T) = 7 years

Step 2:

Use the above details to find principal using the formula for Simple Interest (SI) = PRT/100

⇒ 345.45 = (P × 5.25 × 7)/100

⇒ 34545 = 36.75 P

⇒ P = $940

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line
wolverine [178]

Answer:

y=3/2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

y-4= -⅔(x-6)

y-4=-⅔x+4

y=-⅔x+4+4

(equation of line 1) y= -⅔x+8 gradient= -⅔

(line 2)gradient=3/2

note* the gradients of perpendicular lines multiplied result to -1

gradient=<u>y²-y²</u>

<u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>x²-x¹

<u>3</u><u> </u>=<u>y</u><u>+</u><u>2</u>

<u> </u><u> </u>2. x+2

multiply both sides by 2(x+2)to remove the denominators

3(x+2)=2(y+2)

3x+6=2y+4

3x+6-4=2y

3x+2=2y

divide all sides by 2

3/2x+1=y

y=3/2x+1
