Algebra.Com's Answer #69718 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A rhombus has sides of length 7 cm. One of its diagonals is 10 cm long. Find the lengths of the other diagonal. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "We know that the two diagonals bisect each other at right angles. \n" ); document.write( "This forms a right triangle with a side of 5 cm and hypotenuse of 7 cm \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "1. Find one of the angles(A) of the right triangle using the cosine; \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. Then find the 3rd side using the sine of this same angle. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "3. Double the value of that side and you have the length of the other diagonal. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Cosine(A) = \n" ); document.write( "A = 44.415 degrees \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Sin(44.4153) = \n" ); document.write( ".69985 = \n" ); document.write( "a = 7 * .69985 \n" ); document.write( "a = 4.899 * 2 = 9.8 cm is the length of the other diagonal \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Did this make sense to you?\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
