Answer:

\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal forms two 45-45-90 triangles, with the diagonal being the hypotenuse of both. The Pythagorean Theorem states that a^2+b^2=c^2, where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle, and a and b are the two legs of the triangle.

From the Isosceles Base Theorem, the two legs of a 45-45-90 triangle are always equal. Since we're given a diagonal of \sqrt{5}, we have:

x^2+x^2=\sqrt{5}^2,\\2x^2=5,\\x^2=\frac{5}{2},\\x=\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}}

<em>Answer:</em>

∠WVR = 156

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

Angles in a triangle add up to 180

∴ ∠SRT + RST + RTS = 180

∴ ∠SRT + 109 + 47 = 180

∠SRT = 24

Alternate Angle Theorem

∠SRT = 180 - ∠WVR

24 = 180 - ∠WVR

24 - 180 = - ∠WVR

-156 = - ∠WVR

∠WVR = 156

Have a beautiful day.

Jawad has seven rocks.
ad-work [718]

680 grams.

So, it's telling us to calculate the weight, in grams, of the other rock.

So firstly,

6 of the rocks EACH have a weight of 720 grams.

So, 6 x 720 = 4320

Now save 4320 for later.

Next, we need to convert the 5 kilograms into grams.

So, 5 x 1000 = 5000

now do, 5000 - 4320 = 680.

Your final answer would then be = 680g

I hope this helped.
