Answer:

a) 7a/8; b) 5a/8  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AP = 2PQ = 2QB

Calculations:

1. A to the midpoint of QB

        a = AP + PQ + QB

If 2PQ = 2QB.

    PQ = QB and

    AP = 2PQ

∴      a = 2PQ + 2PQ = 4PQ

    PQ = a/4

    AP = 2PQ = a/2

Let M be the midpoint of QB.

AM = AP + PQ + QM

     = a/2 + a/4 + a/8

     = 7a/8

2. Midpoints of AP and QB

Let N be the midpoint of AP

NM = NP + PQ + QM

      = a/4 +a/4 + a/8 =

      = 5a/8

The values of x in the triangles and the angles in the rhombus are illustrations of tangent ratios

  • The values of x in the triangles are 21.4 units, 58 degrees and 66 degrees
  • The angles in the rhombus are 44 and 46 degrees, respectively

<h3>How to determine the values of x?</h3>

<u>Triangle 1</u>

The value of x is calculated using the following tangent ratio

tan(25) = 10/x

Make x the subject

x = 10/tan(25)

Evaluate

x = 21.4

<u>Triangle 2</u>

The value of x is calculated using the following tangent ratio

tan(x) = 8/5

Evaluate the quotient

tan(x) = 1.6

Take the arc tan of both sides

x = arctan(1.6)

Evaluate

x = 58

<u>Triangle 3</u>

The value of x is calculated using the following tangent ratio

tan(x) = 0.34/0.15

Evaluate the quotient

tan(x) = 2.27

Take the arc tan of both sides

x = arctan(2.27)

Evaluate

x = 66

<h3>How to calculate the angles of the rhombus?</h3>

The lengths of the diagonals are:

L1 = 2 in

L2 = 5 in

Represent the angles with x and y.

The measures of the angles are calculated using the following tangent ratios

tan(0.5x) = 2/5 and y = 90 - x

Evaluate the quotient

tan(0.5x) = 0.4

Take the arc tan of both sides

0.5x = arctan(0.4)

Evaluate

0.5x = 22

Divide by 0.5

x = 44

Recall that:

y = 90 - x

This gives

y = 90 - 44

Evaluate

y = 46

Hence, the angles in the rhombus are 44 and 46 degrees, respectively
