We have been given that Susan has a 12-inch board for constructing a wooden chair.The directions say to use a board that is 29 centimeters long. We are asked to determine if Susan's board is long enough to cut or not.
We know that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm.
Let us convert 12 inches into cm by multiplying 12 by 2.54.
Since 12 inches is equal to 30.48 centimeters and 30.48 is greater than 29, therefore, Susan's board in long enough to cut.
Answer: The area of Charlene's rhombus is nine times smaller than the area of Jerry's rhombus.
Step-by-step explanation:
I will assume that the exercise says " times the base and height of Jerry’s rhombus".
The area of a rhombus can be calculated with the following formula:
Where "b" is the length of the base and "a" is the altitude or the height.
Then, you can calculate the area using the formula shown above.
Therefore, you get:
1. Jerry's rhombus:
2. Charlene's rhombus:
Dividing the area calculated, you get:
Therefore, you can conclude that the area of Charlene's rhombus is nine times smaller than the area of Jerry's rhombus.
