Find the area of the rhombus

The rhombus has an area of 240 units. (2nd one on the left).

Step-by-step explanation:

The intersection of diagonals meet at right angles. That means that the labeled sides are the hypotenuse and 1 leg of a right angle triangle. You need to find the other leg by using the Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 8

b = ?

c = 17

8^2 + b^2 = 17^2

64 + b^2 = 289                 Subtract 64

b^2 = 289-64

b^2 = 225                         Take the square root of both sides.

sqrt(b^) = sqrt(225)

b = 15

Find the area of 1 triangle

Area = 1/2 * a * b

a = 8

b = 15

Area = 1/2 * 8 * 15

Area = 60

Now find the area of 4 triangles.

4*60 = 240

c. 65°

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a triangle with two known angles, 62° and 53°, while the third angle x is unknown and we are to find its value.

we know that the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to a total of 180 degrees. so we can write it as:

x + 62° + 53° = 180°

solving to find the value of x:

x = 180 - (62 + 53) = 65°

therefore, the value of x in this triangle is 65°.
