Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
A rhombus is a parallelogram with all four sides equal.
Its diagonals are perpendicular.
Each of the triangles formed by the diagonals and the sides are congruent, so the area of the rhombus is 4 times the area of one of the triangles.
Since the short diagonal is given as 4, each of the triangles can be viewed as having a base of 2. Each triangle's height, h, then is one half the length of the long diagonal.
The are of one of the triangles is 1/2 (base)(height)=(1/2)(2)h
The area of the rhombus is then
4(1/2)(2)h=24
Solving for h gives
h=6
This makes the length of the long diagonal 2h=12
Question is: how many 84s will fit in 5376? Let's think about some easy multiples:
84 * 100 = 8400, so it's too big
84 * 10 = 840, so it might work
84 | 5376 | 10
-840
84 | 4536 | 10
-840
84 | 3696 | 10
-840
84 | 2856 | 10
-840
84 | 2016 | 10
-840
84 | 1176 | 10
-840
84 | 336
We can't fit any more 840 in 336, so we check how many 84s are in 336 and what's the remainder:
84 | 336 | 4
- 336
So there's no remainder. Now we add all the partial quotients to get the final result:
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 4 = <u>64
</u>It's correct, I checked it with calculator. I just hope you'll be able to read something from that, it's quite difficult to do partial dividing with no pencil and paper :)
180
Explanation:
Set a equation of a ratio 120/90=x/135
And calculate!
90x=(120)(135)
90x=16200
x=180
