<h3>Answer:  b) 18 cm </h3>

========================================================

Work Shown:

Since the parallelogram has perpendicular diagonals, this means that we're dealing with a rhombus. A rhombus has all four sides equal to one another.

One diagonal is bisected, or cut in half, to form the smaller pieces of length (150/x) + 10 and x-10. Set these two expressions equal to each other and solve for x

(150/x) + 10 = x-10

1500/x = x-10-10

1500/x = x-20

1500 = x(x-20)

1500 = x^2-20x

0 = x^2-20x-1500

x^2-20x-1500 = 0

(x-50)(x+30) = 0

x-50 = 0 or x+30 = 0

x = 50 or x = -30

We'll ignore the negative x value as it leads to a negative length which doesn't make sense.

If x = 50, then  

  • x-10 = 50-10 = 40
  • (150/x)+10 = (150/50)+10 = 30+10 = 40

Each piece of this diagonal is 40 cm long.

The two smaller pieces combine to 40+40 = 80, which is the length of one of the diagonals. If this was the shorter diagonal, then 80 would be listed as part of the answer choices. However, 80 is not one of the answers.

-------------

Note how the two diagonals of the rhombus cut the figure into four right triangles.

Each right triangle has one known leg to be 40 and an unknown leg of y. The hypotenuse is 164/4 = 41 since we divide the perimeter by the four equal sides of the rhombus.

We'll use the pythagorean theorem to find the value of y

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

40^2 + y^2 = 41^2

1600 + y^2 = 1681

y^2 = 1681-1600

y^2 = 81

y = sqrt(81)

y = 9

This represents half of the other diagonal, so the full length of this other diagonal is 2*9 = 18 cm.

Solve the equation: w^2+7w+12=0
polet [3.4K]
Hi there!
We are given the equation w² + 7w + 12 = 0, and we are told to solve it. Well, we can first take all the factors of 12 -
1 12
2 6
3  4
Now, take the sum of each factor pair -
1, 12 = 13
2, 6 = 8
3, 4 = 7
Find which factor pair adds up to 7, and we can see that 3 and 4 add up to seven, while also having a product of 12. Therefore, since the whole equation has addition signs, we can factor the equation w² + 7w + 12 into (w + 3)(w + 4) = 0. Next, using the Zero Product Property, we can set each term to zero.
w + 3 = 0
w = -3

w + 4 = 0
w = -4
Therefore, the solution to the equation w² + 7w + 12 = 0 is w = -3, -4. Hope this helped and have a great day!
