Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x in a parallelogram ABCD, which is also a rhombus, one must recall the common properties of parallelogram and rhombus.

One of the properties say that diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other, It means that the triangles formed in the figure are right-angles triangle.

Therefore, to calculate the value of x we can write:

(5x - 35) = 90 because it is the right angled triangle.

5x = 90 - 35

5x = 65

x = 65/5

x = 13

Answer: First option 13

Solution

If ABCD is a rhombus, the diagonals must be perpendicular, then the angle (5x+25)° must be a right angle (90°):

(5x+25)°=90°

5x+25=90

Solving for x: Subtracting 25 both sides of the equation:

5x+25-25=90-25

Subtracting:

5x=65

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

5x/5=65/5

Dividing:

x=13

Answer: The value of x must be 13

Answer:

x = 12.489996 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve one side length of a right triangle given two of other side lengths, you can use the pythagorean theory.

The theory states that the sum of the two adjacent side squares equals the square of the hypotenuse.

Basically:

$x^2 + y^2 = h^2$

Since the problem gives you the hypotenuse and one adjacent side length you rearrange the formula as so:

$x^2 = h^2 - y^2$

$x=\sqrt{h^2 - y^2}$

Then plug in the values:

$x = \sqrt{16^2 - 10^2} = \sqrt{256-100}=\sqrt{156} = 2\sqrt{39}=12.489996$

Given: x + 5 ≥ 10. Choose the graph of the solution set.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

We'll want to end this one with x ≥ another value.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, subtract 5 from both sides.

x+5≥10

-5 -5

x≥5

So, x must be greater than or equal to 5.

Byron’s workout starts with a

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

An equation in point-slope form that represents Byron’s distance from home, y, after x hours is y=4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Byron = 4 miles / hour

Distance traveled in x hours = $Speed \times time$

Distance traveled in x hours = 4x

We are given that After half an hour of running, he is 2 miles from home

So, Total distance = 4x+2

So, y = 4x+2

Hence an equation in point-slope form that represents Byron’s distance from home, y, after x hours is y=4x+2

If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8, (a) what is the value of the multiplier?

pentagon [3]

Given the marginal propensity to consume (MPC), the miltiplier is given by

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC)

Given that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8, the multiplier is given by

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - 0.8) = 1 / 0.2 = 5
