Answer:

x=5 and y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite parallel sides of any rhombus are going to be equal.

a.) Knowing this you take (x+14) and make it equal to (5x-2). Then you subtract the x from (x+14), and add the 2 from (5x+2), making the new equation 16=4x. You divide 4 by x and by 16, getting the final simplified answer of x=4.

b.) Using the same method you take 3y-3 and set it equal to (2y+4). Then you subtract the 2y from (2y+4) and add the 3 from (3y-3) to bother sides. Now you have your new equation and answer being y=7.

a.) x+14 = 5x-2

b.) 3y-3 = 2y+4

Find the area of an equilateral triangle with a side of 6 inches.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

9 $\sqrt{3}$ in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of an equilateral triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{s^2\sqrt{3} }{4}$ ( s is the length of a side )

Here s = 6, thus

A = $\frac{6^2\sqrt{3} }{4}$ = $\frac{36\sqrt{3} }{4}$ = 9 $\sqrt{3}$ in²

A 10-foot ladder is leaning against a tree. The bottom of the ladder is 4 feet away from the bottom of the tree. Approximately h

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we were to draw a horizontal line from the bottom of the ladder to the bottom of the tree and then draw a vertical line from the bottom of the tree to the top of the ladder, we'd get a right triangle with legs as the distance between the bottom of the tree and the bottom of the ladder and the height of the ladder, and the hypotenuse is the length.

Here, we know the hypotenuse is 10 feet and that the bottom of the ladder is 4 feet away from the bottom of the tree, so use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height:

h = $\sqrt{10^2-4^2} =\sqrt{84}$ ≈ 9.2 feet
