Answer:

The area of rhombus ABCD is 11 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ABCD is a rhombus AC = 5.5 cm and BD = 4 cm.

AC and BD are two diagonals of rhombus.

The area of a rhombus is

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times d_1\times d_2$

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times AC\times BD$

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times 5.5\times 4$

$A=11$

Therefore the area of rhombus ABCD is 11 cm².

I need help with questions #7 and #8 plz

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

7. A = 40.8 deg; B = 60.6 deg; C = 78.6 deg

8. A = 20.7 deg; B = 127.2 deg; C = 32.1 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Cosines

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$

You know the lengths of the sides, so you know a, b, and c. You can use the law of cosines to find C, the measure of angle C.

Then you can use the law of cosines again for each of the other angles. An easier way to solve for angles A and B is, after solving for C with the law of cosines, solve for either A or B with the law of sines and solve for the last angle by the fact that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 deg.

We use the law of cosines to find C.

$18^2 = 12^2 + 16^2 - 2(12)(16) \cos C$

$324 = 144 + 256 - 384 \cos C$

$-384 \cos C = -76$

$\cos C = 0.2$

$C = \cos^{-1} 0.2$

$C = 78.6^\circ$

Now we use the law of sines to find angle A.

Law of Sines

$\dfrac{a}{\sin A} = \dfrac{b}{\sin B} = \dfrac{c}{\sin C}$

We know c and C. We can solve for a.

$\dfrac{a}{\sin A} = \dfrac{c}{\sin C}$

$\dfrac{12}{\sin A} = \dfrac{18}{\sin 78.6^\circ}$

Cross multiply.

$18 \sin A = 12 \sin 78.6^\circ$

$\sin A = \dfrac{12 \sin 78.6^\circ}{18}$

$\sin A = 0.6535$

$A = \sin^{-1} 0.6535$

$A = 40.8^\circ$

To find B, we use

m<A + m<B + m<C = 180

40.8 + m<B + 78.6 = 180

m<B = 60.6 deg

I'll use the law of cosines 3 times here to solve for all the angles.

Law of Cosines

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A$

$b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cos B$

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$

Find angle A:

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A$

$8^2 = 18^2 + 12^2 - 2(18)(12) \cos A$

$64 = 468 - 432 \cos A$

$\cos A = 0.9352$

$A = 20.7^\circ$

Find angle B:

$b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cos B$

$18^2 = 8^2 + 12^2 - 2(8)(12) \cos B$

$324 = 208 - 192 \cos A$

$\cos B = -0.6042$

$B = 127.2^\circ$

Find angle C:

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$

$12^2 = 8^2 + 18^2 - 2(8)(18) \cos B$

$144 = 388 - 288 \cos A$

$\cos C = 0.8472$

$C = 32.1^\circ$

An image of a parabolic lens is projected onto a graph. The y-intercept of the graph is (0, 90), and the zeros are 5 and 9. Whic

seraphim [82]

Given:

y-intercept of the graph: (0, 90)
zeros: 5 and 9

The equation that models the function based on the zeros given, is either

y = 90 (x-5) (x-9)
or
y= 2(x-5)(x-9)

try solving for the y-intercept of each function,

y = 90 (0-5) (0-9)
y = 4050
(0, 4050)

y = 2(0-5) (0-9)
y = 90
(0, 90)

therefore, the equation that models the function is y = 2(x-5)(x-9)
