One property of the diagonals of a rhombus is that they are perpendicular bisectors of each other. So 4 congruent right triangles will be formed when you draw the two diagonals. Considering one right triangle, we can solve for the two sides by dividing them by 2.
24 ft/ 2 = 12 ft
18 ft/ 2 = 9 ft

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can now solve for the hypotenuse which is the side of the rhombus.
side = √(12²+9²) = 15 ft

The answer is B.

Given the equation Y -4 equals three force X +8 in point slope form, identify the equation of the same line in standard form
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

3x - y = -28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation y-4 = 3(x+8), distribute and simplify to get the Standard Form.

y-4 = 3(x+8)

y - 4 = 3x + 24

y = 3x + 28

-3x + y = 28

Standard form does not allow the coefficient of x to be negative so multiply the equation by -1.

3x - y = -28
