Answer:

Contrary to addition, subtraction doesn't have the associative property. If we subtract the first two numbers, 10 minus 5, it gives us 5. ... Changing the way of associating the numbers in subtraction changes the answer. Thus, subtraction doesn't have the associative property.

Given:

The figure of a rhombus QRST.

To find:

A. The value of x.

B. The measure of angle RQP.

Solution:

A. We need to find the value of x.

We know that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors. It means the angles on the intersection of diagonals are right angles.

$m\angle RPS=90^\circ$ [Right angle]

$(5x+15)^\circ=90^\circ$

$(5x+15)=90$

$5x=90-15$

$5x=75$

Divide both sides by 5.

$x=\dfrac{75}{5}$

$x=15$

Therefore, the value of x is 15.

B. We need to find the measure of angle RQP.

From the given figure, it is clear that

$m\angle RQP=(2x+3)^\circ$

Putting $x=15$ , we get

$m\angle RQP=(2(15)+3)^\circ$

$m\angle RQP=(30+3)^\circ$

$m\angle RQP=33^\circ$

Therefore, the measure of angle RQP is 33 degrees.

Check the picture below.

thus then

$\bf \begin{cases}
y=100-a\\
y=a\sqrt{3}
\end{cases}\implies 100-a=a\sqrt{3}\implies 100=a+a\sqrt{3}
\\\\\\
100=a(1+\sqrt{3})\implies \boxed{\cfrac{100}{1+\sqrt{3}}=a}
\\\\\\
\textit{what is the altitude \underline{y} then?}\qquad y=100-a
\\\\\\
y=100-\cfrac{100}{1+\sqrt{3}}\implies y\approx 63.39745962156~yards$
