6.6
Step-by-step explanation:
I’m eating chips rn . Maybe later
Your answer is A.
why:
because if the y value changes then your vertical will change. if your x changes than your horizontal will change. if it’s compressed, your x value is less than 1.
legs of the triangles
Each triangle 30-60-90 is:
one leg: 15 ft => short diagonal = 2 * 15ft = 30ft
other leg, x:
tan(30) = 15 / x => x = 15 ft / tan(30) = 25.98 ft
=> long diagonal = 2 * 25.98ft = 51.96 ft
side of the rhoumbus = hypotenuse of one triangle
side of the rhombus = √ [ (15)^2 + (25.98)^2 ] = √(900) = 30 ft
Area of the rhombus:
4 * area of one triangle = 4 [base*height/2] = 4*15*25.98/2 = 779.43 ft^2
The shortest distance accross the garden is equal to the side of the rhombus = 30 ft
