Answer 9

Thanks

Answer 10

did it :) good?

Answer 11

Do you know how to solve it now and get that answer?

Answer 12

I would like to know how it was solved, what relationship of a rhombic did MertsJ utilize to obtain that solution??

Answer 13

How did \[\sqrt{1100}\]come about?

Answer 14

I am trying to "reverse engineer" the answer lol

Answer 15

Help anyone?

Answer 16

Maybe I am interested in\[\sqrt{275}=5\sqrt{11}\]

Answer 17

That would be the value of x hmmmmm but how is that set up?

Answer 18

Would it be the \[x=\sqrt{25}\times \sqrt{11}\] But what relationship would result in that???

Answer 19

x appears to be a geometric mean between 11 and 25 but what is the relationship that says this is so?

Answer 20

this one ...

Answer 21

the 4f33f61de4b0fc0c1a0bbc09 was ust the tail end of the url :)

Answer 22

what determines kite width? is it just the way it is orientated?

Answer 23

say its got segments of ab and cd

a*b = c*d is one of those geomteric things

Answer 24

soo, 11*25 = x*x

275 = x^2

x = sqrt(275)

Answer 25

width is then:

2sqrt(275)

Answer 26

O.K you say a*b=c*d

Answer 27

the wolf says thats 10sqrt(11) so you can dbl check it if need be

Answer 28

lol .... a smarter person than me would have noticed:

2 sqrt(25 * 11) = 2*5*sqrt(11) i spose :)

Answer 29

Is c and d the segments of the horizontal diagonal?

Answer 30

yes

Answer 31

dualing secants i believe

Answer 32

Thanks amistre64, you have always been helpful.

Answer 33

youre welcome ;)

Answer 34

The answer depends on whether x is half the bisected diagonal or the entire diagonal. The way it is drawn seems to suggest x is half that diagonal, as x is placed in the right half of that diagonal and not towards the center.
Also one needs to take into account that the teacher does not wish to trip the student.
So the answer should be 5√11
