A rhombus has four 6-inch sides and two 120-degree angles. From one of the vertices of the obtuse angles, the two latitudes are

drawn, dividing the rhombus into three pieces. Find the areas of these pieces.

Answer:

Area(A)=Area(C)= 9 in^{2}

Area(B)=13.2 in^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin with finding the angles a and b that from the drawing attached you can see that a=b.

Now, the sum of the internal angles of a rhomboid is equal to 360 degrees, with that we have:

120+120+a+b=360

240+2a=360

2a=120

a=60=b

Next, in the image you can see that the lines coming from the angle at the top 120 degrees vertex, divide the opposite sides by half, thus making two triangles with one side of 6 in and another of 3 in.

We can say from the drawing as well:

Area(A)+Area(B)+Area(C)=Area(rhomboid)

But, we can also say that Area(A)=Area(C)

So, starting with Area(A)

Area(A)=Area(triangle)=\frac{b*h}{2}=\frac{6*3}{2}=9 in^{2}

We can then calculate the area B, a rhomboid, or better, take the Total area of the figure and subtract the area of the two triangles.

Area(B)=Area(rhomboid)-Area(A)-Area(C)

Area(rhomboid)=b*h where b=6in and h is the perpendicular distance from the base to the top.

h=[tex]6*cos(30)=5.20in   The 30 degrees come from: 120-30-60=30, since the latitudes split the 120 angle in two equal parts and one that is the half of the obtuse angle.

Area(rhomboid)=5.20*6=31.2 in^{2}

Area(B)=Area(rhomboid)-Area(A)-Area(C)=31.2 in^{2}-9 in^{2}-9 in^{2}=13.2 in^{2}

How many pounds of turkey?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

11.25pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Each person is eating two, 3/8

so 2x3/8=0.75 or 3/4

then do 3/4 x 15 = 11.25 pounds and for the price you do 11.25 x 1.05$ which is 11.81$ worth of turkey

10 km because you have 1 cm left over after you make 8 km with the 5cm so you just divide 8 by 4 and get 2km then add that to the 8 to get 10.

A teacher writes the function f(x)=3x^2-18x+27 on the board. How many times does the graph of the teacher's function intersect t
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Once. at (3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is handy to have a graphing calculator for this kind of question.

Otherwise work it out.

All the terms are multiples of 3, so simplify.3(x^{2} -6x + 9)

then factor (x -3)(x-3)

Set each equal to 0 and solve for x.

x - 3 = 0    x = 3

OH ! they are identical! So there is only One value for x that will produce an output of 0.

So it intersects (touches) only once.
