Answer:

l=10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In a rhombus, the diagonals are cut into identical lines at the intersection.

This way, I found the measures of the halves of the diagonals in a right triangle, knowing that the diagonals of the rhombus are perpendicular on each other.

I calculated that AO = AC/2= 8, and that BO=BD/2= 6, and then I applied pytagora's theorem in a quarter of the rhombus, which is the right triangle AOB, to find the length of a side

Find the missing side of the triangle

Rashid [163]

Using the Pythagorean theorem where:
b^2 = c^2 - a^2
Let x be the value for b.
x^2 = 13.7^2 - 5.2^2
= 187.69 - 27.04
=√160.65
= 12.67

Hence x = 12.67

Kate and Jean paint a house together in 6 days. If they work alone, Kate takes 5 fewer days than Jean would take to do the same

navik [9.2K]

X = number of days it would take Kate to paint the house by herself. .
x+5 = number of days it would take Jean to paint the house by herself.
Together, they paint the house in 6 days: 
1/x + 1/(x+5) = 1/6 
Multiply both sides by 6x(x+5) 
6(x+5) + 6x = x(x+5) 
12x + 30 = x^2 + 5x 
x^2 − 7x − 30 = 0
therefore the answer is A.
