Answer:
In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect at right angles. That means half the diagonals form a right angle triangle then we can try the Pythagorean theorem. so -
one side of triangle = 6/2 =3 (half of the diagonal)
other side = 8/2 = 4
a^2 + b^2 = c2
3 ^2 + 4^2 = c^2
9+16 = c^2
c^2=25
c =
= 5
the hypothenus forms one side of the rhombus and here the hypothenus is 5, so the lenght of a side is 5 !
By definition of supplementary angles,
∠ABD + ∠BDE = 180
5x + 17x - 18 = 180
22x = 198
x = 9
∠ABD = 5(9) = 45°
∠BDE = 180 - 45 = 135°
We use the given data above to calculate the volume of gasoline that is being burned per minute by commercial airplanes.
Amount burned of 1 commercial airplane = <span>3.9 × 10³ ml of gasoline per second
Number of airplanes = </span><span>5.1 × 10³ airplanes
We calculate as follows:
</span> 3.9 × 10³ ml of gasoline per second / 1 airplane (5.1 × 10³ airplanes)(60 second / 1 min ) = <span>1.2 x 10^9 mL / min</span>
