Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
To make it easy let's start by organizing our information :
- AC=12 AND BD=8
- ABCD is a rhombus
- K and L are the midpoints of sides AD and CD
- we notice that the rhombus ABCD is divided into four right triangles
What do you think of when you hear a right triangle ?
- The pythagorian theorem !
AC and BD are khown so let's focus on them .
If we concentrated we can notice that AB and BD are cossing each other in the midpoints . why ?
Simply because they are the diagonals of a rhombus .
ow let's apply the pythagorian theorem :
- (AC/2)² + (BD/2)² = BC²
- 6²+4²=52
- BC²= 52⇒
=BC
Now we khow that : AB=BC=CD=AD=
This isn't enough . Let's try to figure out a way to calculate the length of KL wich is the base of the triangle
- KL is parallel to AC
- k is the midpoint of AD and L of DC
I smell something . yes! Thales theorem
- KL/AC=DL/DC=DK/AD WE4LL TAKE OLY ONE
- KL/12=
- KL/12=1/2⇒ KL=6
Now we have the length of the base kl
Now the big boss the height :
- notice that you khow the length of KL
- BD crosses kl from its midpoint and DL =
What I want to do is to apply the pythgorian thaorem to khow the lenght of that small part that is not a part of the height of the triangle . I will call it D
- DL²=(KL/2)²+D²
- 52/4= 9+ D²
- D² = 52/4-9 +4 SO D=2
now the height of the trigle is H= BD-D= 8-2=6
NOw the area of the triangle is :
- A=(KL*H)/2 ⇒ A= (6*6)/2=18
THE ANSWER IS 18 SQ.UN
Answer:
26.31
Step-by-step explanation:
Use distance formula
d =
substitute in points and solve
d =
d =
d =
d =
d = 26.30589288
d = 26.31 rounded
Place a point at (0,-5) because that is the y-intercept (the -5 on the vertical line)
Since the slope is negative two which can be re-written as -2/1 (rise/run) you go down two and to the right once or up two and to the left once, it doesn't matter which. Another point can be placed at (1,-7) or (-3,-1), it still doesn't matter which.
Then you can draw a line connecting the two points.
I hope this helps :)
