Answer:
B :
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide a rhombus using its diagonals, you get 4 right triangles, whose legs are both 1/2 the length of the diagonals.
This means that the legs of one of those 4 triangles have lengths of 2x/2, and 8x/2, so the legs of one of those triangles x and 4x. This makes the length of one side equal to . Because all 4 sides are the same length, you multiply this value by 4, and get
, which is B.
Let z = sin(x). This means z^2 = (sin(x))^2 = sin^2(x). This allows us to go from the equation you're given to this equation: 7z^2 - 14z + 2 = -5
That turns into 7z^2 - 14z + 7 = 0 after adding 5 to both sides. Use the quadratic formula to solve for z. The only solution is z = 1 (see attached image). Since we made z = sin(x), this means sin(x) = 1. All solutions to this equation will be in the form x = (pi/2) + 2pi*n, which is the radian form of the solution set. If you need the degree form, then it would be x = 90 + 360*n
The 2pi*n (or 360*n) part ensures we get every angle coterminal to pi/2 radians (90 degrees), which captures the entire solution set.
Note: The variable n can be any integer.
