A rhombus ABCD has AB = 10 and m∠A = 60°. Find the lengths of the diagonals of ABCD.

melisa1 [442]

Three important properties of the diagonals of a rhombus that we need for this problem are:
1. the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other
2. the diagonals form two perpendicular lines
3. the diagonals bisect the angles of the rhombus

First, we can let O be the point where the two diagonals intersect (as shown in the attached image). Using the properties listed above, we can conclude that ∠AOB is equal to 90° and ∠BAO = 60/2 = 30°.

Since a triangle's interior angles have a sum of 180°, then we have ∠ABO = 180 - 90 - 30 = 60°. This shows that the ΔAOB is a 30-60-90 triangle.

For a 30-60-90 triangle, the ratio of the sides facing the corresponding anges is 1:√3:2. So, since we know that AB = 10, we can compute for the rest of the sides.

$\overline{OB}:\overline{AB} = 1:2$
$\overline {OB}:10 = 1:2$
$\overline{OB} = \frac{1}{2}(10) = 5$

Similarly, we have

$\overline{AO}:\overline{AB} = \sqrt{3}:2$
$\overline {AO}:10 = \sqrt{3}:2$
$\overline{AO} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(10) = 5\sqrt{3}$

Now, to find the lengths of the diagonals,

$\overline{AD} = 2(\overline{AO}) = 10\sqrt{3}$
$\overline{BC} = 2(\overline{OB}) = 10$

So, the lengths of the diagonals are 10 and 10√3.

Answer: 10 and 10√3 units

-8(r-2)=40 what is the answer to this equation

Elena-2011 [213]

The answer is r=-3. You use the distributive property which is basically multiplying -8 with all the numbers inside the parenthesis. So -8 x r and -8 x -2. This results to -8r+16=40 (Two negative numbers multiplied together will form a positive number). We use inverse operations to subtract 16 from both sides. 16-16 is 0 and 40-16 is 24. So we are left with -8r=24. We want to be left with only r, so we once again use inverse operations to divide -8 from both sides. -8/-8 is 1, and 24/-8 is -3. So we end up with r=-3. Hope this helped :]

given f(x)=2x^2 and g(x)=4x-5, the composition f(g(x)) is equal to 32x^2-80 x+53 now find an expression for g(f(x))

puteri [66]

F(x) is most likely the f(f(x)x) where f(x) is g(x))f)) and composition can be 69 + 46 which is the total of 137

I've never even seen a box and whiskers plot before!! Should be pretty straight forward though. Thanks!

alisha [4.7K]

For a box and whispers plot, each section represents 25% of the data. Therefore, the area from 85-99 represents 25% of the data.

25% of 24 students= 6 students
Final answer: 6 students

A rectangular board has an area of 648 square centimeters. The triangular part of the board has an area of 162 square centimeter

maksim [4K]

Answer:

25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E be the event that the dart lands inside the triangle.

We have been given that a rectangular board has an area of 648 square centimeters. The triangular part of the board has an area of 162 square centimeters.

We know that probability of an event represents the chance that an event will happen.

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable no. of events}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}$
