Drop a perpendicular from an obtuse vertex.

That makes a 30 - 60º right triangle, with hypotenuse 6 and short leg 3. So the long leg, which is the height of the rhombus, is 3√3 .

Since a rhombus is a parallelogram, its area is base x height = 6 x 3√3 = 18√3

Is it possible to form a triangle with side lengths 3.5 3.5, and 9? If so, will it be scalene, isosceles, or equilateral? Or non

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

It is not possible to draw a triangle with given measurements of 3.5, 3.5, and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scalene Triangle - All 3 sides have different lengths.

Isosceles Triangle - 2 sides have equal lengths.

Equilateral Triangle - All 3 sides have equal lengths.

You must be thinking that it would be Isosceles triangle, but it is not. The measurements you gave is 3.5, 3.5, and 9. Grab a piece of paper, ruler, and a pencil. First draw the length of 9 cm with your pencil and ruler (let us pretend that the measurements are in cm). Then draw 3.5 cm by placing your ruler on the end/start of your 9cm line that you drew before. Then, once again draw a 3.5 cm on the other end of the 9cm line. You will see something like the picture above. You can see that the two sides of the triangle are not intersecting on the top. This means that the triangle formation cannot be made by the given measurements of 3.5, 3.5, and 9.

I hope you understand my answer and this is an easy way to find if, from the given measurements, a triangle is able to be drawn. Thank you !!

Stu hiked a trail at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. He ran back on the same trail at an average rate of 5 miles per hour.

fredd [130]

Let d = the length of the trail, miles

Note that
distance = speed * time
or
time = distance / speed.

The time, t₁, to travel the trail at 3 miles per hour is
t₁ = d/3 hours
The time, t₂, to travel back at 5 miles per hour is
t₂ = d/5 hours

Because the total time is 3 hours, therefore
t₁ + t₂ = 3
d/3 + d/5 = 3
d(1/3 + 1/5) = 3
d(8/15) = 3
Multiply each side by 15.
8d = 3*15 =45
d = 45/8 = 5 5/8 miles or 5.625 miles
Total distance = 2*d = 11.25 miles or 11 1/4 miles.

t₁ = 5.625/3 = 1.875 hours or 1 hour, 52.5 minutes
t₂ = 5.625/5 = 1.125 hours or 1 hour , 7.5 minutes

Answers ;
Time to travel at 3 miles per hour = 1.875 hours (1 hour, 52.5 minutes)
Time to return at 5 miles per hour = 1.125 hours (1 hour, 7.5 minutes)
Total distance traveled = 2*d = 11.25 miles.
