Answer:
64 in² (Answer B)
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that this rhombus is made up of a large upper triangle and a large lower triangle. Each of these two triangles has base 2(8 in) (or 16 in) and height 4 in.
The area-of-a-triangle formula is
A = (1/2)(base)(height), which here is
A = (1/2)(16 in)(4 in) = 32 in².
Now double that, because we have an upper triangle of area 32 in² and a lower triangle of the same area 32 in². So the total area of the rhombus is 64 in²
Acute usually means below or exactly 90°, so the greatest would be 90
Switch the x and y values and isolate y, then simplify.
x=6y+5
6y=x-5
y=1/6x-5/6
Write an equation system based on the problem
"Agatha is five times older than her son, Bob" could be written as:
a = 5b.......(first equation)
"Three years ago, she was nine times older" could be written as:
a - 3 = 9(b - 3)......(second equation)
Solve the equation system
To find the value of b, substitute 5b as a to the second equation
a - 3 = 9(b - 3)
5b - 3 = 9(b - 3)
5b - 3 = 9b - 27
5b - 9b = -27 + 3
-4b = -24
b = -24/-4
b = 6
Her son, Bob, is 6 years old
To find Agatha's age, substitute the value of b to the first equation
a = 5b
a = 5 × 6
a = 30
Agatha is 30 years old
