Answer:
what in the world am i
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer should be 24 square units.
5 is the hypotenuse and the one we need is the base and the height. They gave us the height, which was 6 in total but 3 for the triangle. But we needed to find the base.
In order to do that, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
3^2+b^2=5^2
9+b^2=25
Subtract 9 from both sides
b^2=16
Then square root both sides.
b=4.
Now that we have the base, you can then find the area of the triangle.
BH/2
4*3/2
12/2
6
So one triangle equals to 6. Then multiply that by 4 to find the area of the rhombus. Which would be 24 square units.

Answer:
<em>Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
For a quadratic equation:

The sum of the roots is -b and the product is c. Note the leading coefficient is 1.
We know the perimeter of the rectangular metal plate is 36 dm and its area is 80 dm^2. Being L and W its dimensions, then:
P=2(L+W)=36
A=L.W=80
Note both formulas are closely related to the roots of the quadratic equation, we only need to adjust the data for the perimeter to be exactly the sum of L+W and not double of it.
Thus we use the semi perimeter instead as P/2=L+W=18
The quadratic equation is, then:

Factoring by finding two numbers that add up to 18 and have a product of 80:

The solutions to the equation are:
x=10, x=8
Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.
