Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles, and bisect each of the vertex angles. Of course, adjacent vertex angles are supplementary.
Assuming E is where the diagonals cross, then we have ...
∠ABE = 124°/2 = 62°
∠BCE = 90° -62° = 28°
∠BAD = 2·28° = 56° . . . (= 180° -124°)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a represent the length of board a.
Let y represent the length of board b.
The total length of both is 28 feet. This means that
a + b = 28
Board b is at least 5 feet longer than board a. This means that
b ≥ a + 5
The difference between both boards is not more than 12 feet. This means that
b - a < 12
Substituting a = 28 - b into b ≥ a + 5, it becomes.
b ≥ 28 - b + 5
b ≥ 28 - b + 5
2b ≥ 28
b ≥33/2
b ≥ 16.5
16.5 - a < 12
4.5 < a
a > 4.5
The possible lengths of board a is
8 to 11.5 feet
The possible lengths of board b is
16.5 to 20 feet
