Step 1
<u>Find the value of s</u>
we know that
In a Rhombus all sides are congruent
so
equate AB and CD
Combine like term
<u>The answer Part a) is</u>
the value of s is 
Step 2
<u>Find the value of side AB</u>
substitute the value of s
Remember that the sides are congruent
therefore
<u>the answer Part b) is</u>
The length of the side BC is 
9514 1404 393
Answer:
C. 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding sides are proportional. Sides with the same mark are the same length.
WX/XY = LM/MN = LM/KJ
WX/10 = 18/15
WX = 180/15 . . . . multiply by 10
WX = 12
Answer:
A)
15 hours
B)
108 hours
C)
2074.29 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Under the assumption the earth is a perfect circle, then in one complete rotation about its axis ( 24 hours) the Earth will cover 360 degrees or 2π radians.
A)
In every 24 hours the earth rotates through 360 degrees ( a complete rotation). We are required to determine the length of time it will take the Earth to rotate through 225 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 225 degrees, then the following proportions hold;
(24/360) = (x/225)
solving for x;
x = (24/360) * 225 = 15 hours
B)
In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians (a complete rotation) . We are required to determine the length of time it will take the Earth to rotate through 9π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 9π radians, then the following proportions hold;
(24/2π radians) = (x/9π radians)
Solving for x;
x = (24/2π radians)*9π radians = 108 hours
C)
If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in a day or 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle;
circumference = 2*π*R = π*D
= 7920*3.142
= 24891.43 miles
Therefore a point on the equator covers a distance of 24891.43 miles in 24 hours. This will imply that the speed of the earth is approximately;
(24891.43miles)/(24 hours) = 1037.14 miles/hr
The distance covered by the point in 2 hours will thus be;
1037.14 * 2 = 2074.29 miles
The slope of the line is 1
