Answer:

70 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 sides of a rhombus are equal so each side has length 148 /4

= 37 units. The diagonals bisect each other at right angles so when we draw the 2 diagonals we have 4 congruent right-angled triangles.

So consider one of these triangles:

The hypotenuse is 37 units and one of the legs = 1/2 * 24 = 12 units ( half of the diagonal of length 24).

So the other leg is found using Pythagoras:

x^2 = 37^2 - 12^2 = 1225

x = 35.

This is half of the other diagonal so the latter = 70 units.

Claire has a hot tub with a diameter of 7 feet. She wants to purchase a cover to protect the hot tub. What is the area

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The area of the cover for the hot tub must be:

38 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must understand that since a hydromassage tub is mentioned and the diameter, it is assimilated that it is round in its upper part, which is why the formula is used to find the area of a circle:

Area of a circle = pi * radius ^ 2 (you must know that the radius is half the diameter)

Since the diameter is mentioned, it can be replaced in the formula:

Area of a circle = 3.14 * (3.5 feet) ^ 2
Area of a circle = 38,465 square feet. Approximately 38 square feet.

one angle of a triangle is 2 / 3 of a right angle . the greater of the other to exceed the lesser by 20 degree. Find the angles

jarptica [38.1K]

2/3 of a right triangle is 60 degrees. Then x + (x+20) + 60 = 180 total.

2x + 80 = 180, so 2x = 100 and x = 50. The angles are 50, 70 and 60 (degrees)
