The diagonal of a cube is 28 cm. Identify the length of an edge.
1 answer:
So the diagonal of cube
this was a practice act question so her's the answer
look at the cube through one of the faces
you will see the diagonal as the hypotonuse of a triangle
and also a triangle on the floor (look at attachment)
the ,diagonal is 28
a^2+b^2=28^2
a=b since it is a cube
remember that this is a 45,45 triangle so therefor
a=b=x
c=x√2 so
28=x√2
divide both sides by √2
28/(√2)=x
the diagonal on the floor is 28/(√2)
the sides of the triangle form another 45 45 90 triangle with 28/(√2) as hyponuse so
a=b=x
c=x√2=28/(√2)
solve for x
x√2=28/(√2)
divide both sides by √2
same as mujlitply both sides by 1/(√2) so
28/(√2) times 1/(√2)=28/(2)=14
the answer of 1 diagonal is 14 cm
the answer is 14cm

When two shapes are mathematically similar, that means that all their sides are in a proportion.
We know the sieds of EH and AD, and so we can find the proportion of the shapes using these two sides.
EH/AD = 6/9 = 2/3
The ratio of EFGH to ABCD is 2:3
Now we have to find BC.
Becuase they're in proportion, we can form this equation:
=
Cross multiply:
24 = 2*BC
Divide both sides by 2:
BC = 12 cm
Good luck!
