A)
Kim's age=k
Sister's age=s
k=2s
k+s=36
b)
k=2s
k+s=36
k=36-s
2s=36-s
3s=36
s=12
12*2=24
Kim is 24 and her sister is 12
Hope this helps :)
Diagonal of a Rhombus are perpendicular & intersects in their middle point:
Assume the diagonals intersects in H
A(0,-8), B(1,-0), C(8,-4) & D(x, y) are the vertices of the rhombus and we have to calculate D(x, y)
Consider the diagonal AC. Find the coordinate (x₁, y₁) H, the middle of AC
Coordinate (x₁, y₁) of H, middle of A(0,-8), C(8,-4)
x₁ (0+8)/2 & y₁=(-8-4)/2 ==> H(4, -6)
Now let's calculate again the coordinate of H, middle of the diagonal BD
B(1,-0), D(x, y)
x value = (1+x)/2 & y value=(y+0)/2 ==> x= (1+x)/2 & y=y/2
(1+x)/2 & y/2 are the coordinate of the center H, already calculated, then:
H(4, -6) = [(1+x)/2 , y/2]==>(1+x)/2 =4 ==> x=7 & y/2 = -6 ==> y= -12
Hence the coordinates of the 4th vertex D(7, -12)
3b^2 - x = -9b^2
x = 3b^2 +9b^2
x = 12b^2
3b^2 -12b^2 = -9b^2
hope this will help you
