Answer:

the length of the other diagonal is ≈ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

  • one side 7 inches
  • one side 9 inches
  • diagonal is 14 inches

we can use the law of cosines to find out the angle that formed by the 7 inch side and 9 inch side (please have a look at the attached photo)

Let say ∠ABC, we have:

c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} -2abcos(B)\\

<=> 14^{2} =7^{2} +9^{2} -2*7*9cos(B)\\

<=> cos(B) = -11/21

<=> ∠ABC = 121 degrees.

From the properties of parallelograms, we know that the sum of the 4 inter angles is 360 degrees.

2∠ABC + 2∠BAC =360

<=> ∠BAC = (360 - 2∠ABC) /2

<=> ∠BAC = (360 - 2*121) /2

<=> ∠BAC =59 degrees

Once again, we use can use the law of cosines to find out the length of the shorter diagonal

 d^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} -2abcos(A)\\

=  7^{2} +9^{2} -2*7*9cos(59)\\

= 65

<=> d = \sqrt{65} ≈ 8

A parallelogram is a flat shape with opposite sides parallel and equal in length. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect<span> each other. In simpler words, they intersect halfway point. We calculate as follows:

</span>d2 = √<span>2a^2 + 2b^2 - d1^<span>2
</span></span>d2 = √2(7)^2 + 2(9)^2 - 14^2
d2 = 8 inches

In the diagram, the length of segment QV is 15 units.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The answer is 15 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason it is 15 units is because  We know that QV = 15 and TQ = TS, QV = SV;4 x - 1 = 154 x = 15 + 14 x = 16x = 16 : 4 = 4 henceforth the answer being 15 units

The length of a rectangle is 2 meters more than its width. The area of the rectangle is 80 square meters. What is the length and
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

A = L * W

Givens

W = W

L = W + 2

Solution

Area = L*W

Area = (W+2)*W = 80            Remove the brackets.

Area = W^2 + 2W = 80         Subtract 80 from both sides.

Area = w^2+2W-80=80-80  Combine

Area = w^2 +2W-80 = 0        Factor.

Area = (w+10)(w - 8) = 0

W + 10 = 0 won't work

W = - 10 which isn't possible

W- 8 = 0

W = 8

L = 8 + 2 = 10

The answer looks like A
