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

the most boring thing ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
