A garden is designed in the shape of a rhombus formed from 4 identical 30°-60°-90° triangles. The shorter distance across the mi

ddle of the garden measures 30 feet.
A rhombus is shown. Lines are drawn from each point to the opposite point to form 4 right triangles. The other 2 angle measures are 30 and 60 degrees. The base length of each triangle is 15 feet.

What is the distance around the perimeter of the garden?

Answer:

c) 120 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider the rhombus has 4 sides, A, B, C, and D.

To find the length of each side, let's first find the length AE.

From the diagram, AE is half of AC and AC = 30 ft.

Therefore,

AE = ½ * 30

AE = 15 ft

Let's find the length AD, since we are looking for the distance around the perimeter.

$AD = \frac{15}{sin30} = \frac{15}{0.5} = 30 ft$

We are told the rhombus is formed by four identical triangles.

Therefore the distance around the perimeter would be: AD+AD+AD+AD=

30 ft + 30 ft + 30 ft + 30 ft

= 120 ft

The distance around the perimeter of the garden is 120 ft

Find the product of all real values of r for which 1/2x=r-x/7

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$r = \±\sqrt{14$

$Product = -14$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{1}{2x} = \frac{r - x}{7}$

Required

Find all product of real values that satisfy the equation

$\frac{1}{2x} = \frac{r - x}{7}$

Cross multiply:

$2x(r - x) = 7 * 1$

$2xr - 2x^2 = 7$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$2xr - 2x^2 -7= 7 -7$

$2xr - 2x^2 -7= 0$

Reorder

$- 2x^2+ 2xr -7= 0$

Multiply through by -1

$2x^2 - 2xr +7= 0$

The above represents a quadratic equation and as such could take either of the following conditions.

(1) No real roots:

This possibility does not apply in this case as such, would not be considered.

(2) One real root

This is true if

$b^2 - 4ac = 0$

For a quadratic equation

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

By comparison with $2x^2 - 2xr +7= 0$

$a = 2$

$b = -2r$

$c =7$

Substitute these values in $b^2 - 4ac = 0$

$(-2r)^2 - 4 * 2 * 7 = 0$

$4r^2 - 56 = 0$

Add 56 to both sides

$4r^2 - 56 + 56= 0 + 56$

$4r^2 = 56$

Divide through by 4

$r^2 = 14$

Take square roots

$\sqrt{r^2} = \±\sqrt{14$

$r = \±\sqrt{14$

Hence, the possible values of r are:

$\sqrt{14$ or $-\sqrt{14$

and the product is:

$Product = \sqrt{14} * -\sqrt{14}$

$Product = -14$

The dimensions of a rectangle can be given by x+9 and x-2. If the area is 60ft^2, what is the value of X?

Veronika [31]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 9) * (x - 2) = 60

x^2 - 2x + 9x - 18 = 60

x^2 + 7x - 18 = 60

x^2 + 7x = 78

FACTORING:

x(x + 7) = 78

x = 6
