Question

Katrina is fencing her yard, which is shaped as a rhombus. She used (5x + 1) meters of fencing material for one side and (7x - 11) meters for the adjacent side.

What is the perimeter of the yard?

124 meters

116 meters

140 meters

168 meters

Answer 1

First of all, a rhombus has equal sides. Can you please check the question--it doesn't make sense.

Answer 2

Not really, Rajath :)
\(5x + 1 = 7x - 11\)
Solve for \(x\), then find the perimeter.

Answer 3

ahh, yes. Sorry.

Answer 4

i think it means (5x+1)=(7x-11)

Answer 5

First, solve for \(x\).
Second, try to find \(5x + 1\)(or \(7x - 11\) according to your wish).

Answer 6

As a rhombus has all its sides equal, and the number of sides is 4, we may just add the length of each sides 4 times.

Remember that perimeter is just the sum of outer sides ;)

Answer 7

x=6?

Answer 8

Yes :)

Answer 9

Now what is \(5(6) + 1\)?

Answer 10

31

Answer 11

Correct - that is the length of each side.

Answer 12

31*4+124

Answer 13

I think you meant 31 * 4 = 124 but it's all fine :)

Answer 14

sory + means =

Answer 15

and that is the answer!

Answer 16

thanks a\[\infty \]

Answer 17

Hahaha!

Answer 18

By the way, you did \(31.841\pi\%\) work, so no need to thank me:)

Answer 19

as long as the work you do is 68.159pi%
