Since E is the midpoint of DF, DE and EF are two halves of DF. First, let's write down what we know.

DE = 3x + 4

EF = 5x - 2

DE = EF

DE + EF = DF

Now, let's plug our values for DE and EF into our first expression.

3x + 4 = 5x -2

Add 2 to both sides and subtract 3x from both sides.

6 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

3 = x

Let's plug 3 in for x into DE.

DE = 3x + 4 = 3(3) + 4 = 9 + 4 = 13

DE = EF = 13

We can plug 13 in for DE and EF to get DF

DF = DE + EF = 13 + 13 = 26

Dina and Masha started out on a 10 km bike path at the same time. When Dina reached the end of the 10 km, Masha still had 2 km t

german

Answer:

4 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Dina and Masha started out on a 10 km bike path at the same time.

Dina's biking speed is 5 km/h.

Let us find taken by Dina to cover 10 kn distance.

$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

$\text{Time taken by Dina to cover 10 km}=\frac{10km}{5\frac{km}{hr}}$

$\text{Time taken by Dina to cover 10 km}=\frac{10km}{5}\times \frac{hr}{km}}$

$\text{Time taken by Dina to cover 10 km}=2hr$

Therefore, Dina took 2 hours to complete 10 km.

Since both started at the same time, therefore, Masha also took 2 hours to complete 2 km less than Dina.

Let us find distance covered by Masha.

$\text{Distance covered by Masha}=10\text{ km}-2\text{ km}=8\text{ km}$

Now let us find Masha's biking speed.

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

$\text{Masha's biking speed}=\frac{8\text{ km}}{2\text{ hour}}$

$\text{Masha's biking speed}=4\frac{\text{ km}}{\text{ hour}}$

Therefore, Masha's biking speed is 4 km per hour.

Equation for working out the area of a rhombus

Inga [223]

Hey :)

There are 3 different equations you can use to find the area of a rhombus:

1) Using diagonals: A = ½ × d1 × d2

2) Using Base and Height: A = b × h

3) Using Trigonometry: A = b² × Sin(a)

Hope this helps!
