If the perimeter of a rhombus is 164 and the length of the longer diagonal is 80, find the length of the shorter diagonal.

A rhombus has four equal sides. If the perimeter of this rhombus is 164, then the length of one side is 164/4, or 41.

Draw this rhombus. Label all four sides with "41." Label the longer diagonal 80 and the half length of that diagonal 40. You will see inside the rhombus four congruent triangles with hypotenuse 41, leg 10 and unknown height. Thus, this unknown height is found by solving x^2 + 40^2 = 41^2, and x^2=9, so that the length of the shorter diagonal is 2(2) = 18 (answer).

true? is that what you're asking or do you mean something else?

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be =.

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

.

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be =.

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be
