Answer:

y = 12 - x  

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles,

Thus, segment BD is a line perpendicular to AC and passing through the midpoint of AC.

1. Find the midpoint of AC

The midpoint of two points is half-way between their x- and y-values.

For the x-coordinate,

(x₂ + x₁)/2 = (7 + 3)/2 = 10/2 = 5

For the y-coordinate,

(y₂ + y₁)/2 = (9 + 5)/2 = 14/2 = 7

The coordinates of the midpoint are (5,7).

2. Calculate the equation of the diagonal BD

(a) Slope of AC

m₁ = Δy/Δx = (y₂ -y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (9 - 5)/(7 - 3) = 4/4 = 1

(b) Slope of BD

The slope m₂ of the perpendicular line BD must be the negative reciprocal of the slope of AC.

m₁ = -1/m₁ = -1

(c) Calculate the y-intercept of BD

The general equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

Insert point (5,7).

7 = -1×5 + b

7 = -5 + b

b = 12

The y-intercept is (0,12).

(d) Write the equation for the line

y = -x + 12 or y = 12 - x

Points B and D can be any two points on the line that are equidistant from Point O, as shown in the Figure below.

What’s the answer? Because am having a hard time with this math problem.

Answer:

  34.5 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want to find the area of the shaded region. (The actual question is not visible here.)

The area of the triangle (including the rectangle) is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

The figure shows the base of the triangle is 11 m, and the height is 1+5+3 = 9 m. So, the triangle area is ...

  A = (1/2)(11 m)(9 m) = 49.5 m^2

The rectangle area is the product of its length and width:

  A = LW

The figure shows the rectangle is 5 m high and 3 m wide, so its area is ...

  A = (5 m)(3 m) = 15 m^2

The shaded area is the difference between the triangle area and the rectangle area:

  shaded area = 49.5 m^2 - 15 m^2 = 34.5 m^2

The shaded region has an area of 34.5 square meters.
