Check the picture below.

so the rhombus has the diagonals of AC and BD, now keeping in mind that the diagonals bisect each, namely they cut each other in two equal halves, let's find the length of each.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
A(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad 
C(\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{8})\qquad \qquad 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{[6-(-4)]^2+[8-(-2)]^2}\implies AC=\sqrt{(6+4)^2+(8+2)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{10^2+10^2}\implies AC=\sqrt{10^2(2)}\implies \boxed{AC=10\sqrt{2}}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
B(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad 
D(\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0})\qquad \qquad BD=\sqrt{[4-(-2)]^2+[0-6]^2}
\\\\\\
BD=\sqrt{(4+2)^2+(-6)^2}\implies BD=\sqrt{6^2+6^2}
\\\\\\
BD=\sqrt{6^2(2)}\implies \boxed{BD=6\sqrt{2}}

that simply means that each triangle has a side that is half of 10√2 and another side that's half of 6√2.

namely, each triangle has a "base" of 3√2, and a "height" of 5√2, keeping in mind that all triangles are congruent, then their area is,

\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of the four congruent triangles}}{4\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(3\sqrt{2})(5\sqrt{2}) \right]\implies 4\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(15\cdot (\sqrt{2})^2) \right]}\implies 4\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(15\cdot 2) \right]
\\\\\\
4[15]\implies 60

How many 2/3 ounce portions of chocolate can Anna get from the 42/3 ounces of chocolate she bought at Union Market?
Lelechka [254]
She can get 21 portions. Since 2/3 and 42/3 already share the same denominator, all you need to do is divide 42 by 2 to get 21.

The length and width of a rectangle are
uysha [10]

Answer:

y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

(2y-3)*2=4y-6

You multiply by two because there are two sides that are considered the length

y+1*2=2y+2

Same thing here

4y-6+2y+2=32

6y-4=32

+4. +4

6y=36

/6 /6

y=6

To the nearest tenth, find the perimeter of ABC with vertices A(-1,4), B(-2,1) and C(2,1). show your work
liubo4ka [24]

we have to firstly apply the distance formula to find the length of sides of the triangle

distance formula = \sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^2 +(y_{2}- y_{1})^2}

So length AB = \sqrt{(-2-(-1))^2+(1-4)^2}= \sqrt{1 +9}=\sqrt{10}

BC= \sqrt{(2-(-2))^2+(1-1)^2}= \sqrt{16+0}=4

AC = \sqrt{(2-(-1))^2+ (1-4)^2}= \sqrt{9+9}=\sqrt{18}=3\sqrt{2}

Now perimeter = AB+BC+AC = \sqrt{10}+4+3\sqrt{2}

Plug in calculator

perimeter= 11.4 units
