  1. 1. In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. So you have 4 congruent right-angled triangles with sides 5 and 12, and the hypotenuse is the side of the rhombus.
    s^2 = 5^2 + 12^2
    (You should recognize that Pythagorean triple, if not, remember it)
    Find the area of one triangle, then multiply by 4

    2. There are 6 identical isosceles triangle with a base of 24/6 or 4 units, and a central angle of 60°
    The length of those sides is your radius.

    3. I drew a figure ABCD , with AD || BC
    AD = 10
    AB = 20
    BC = 30, and
    CD = 10
    From A draw a line AP, so that AP is || to DC and P is on BC
    So AP=10 and APCD Is a rhombus (all sides = 10)
    Now look at triangle ABP , it is isosceles with sides 20,20, and 10
    We need an angle, I found angle APB
    cos APB =5/20
    angle APB = appr 75.52°
    So angle APC = 104.48°
    Take it from there.

  2. x-17 + 24-x + 3x-40 + x+1 = 42
    4x = 74
    x = 18.5 ,
    so the sides are 1.5 , 5.5, 15.5 , and 19.5
    how about doubling each side, creating a "similar" quadrilateral, (angles won't change)

    3 , 11 , 31 , and 39 , mmmh, what do you know about sides of a parallelogram ?

    #5
    Make your sketch, label QU = 26 , let AU = x
    we know
    perimtetr = x + 26 + x + 26
    = 2x + 52
    but 2x + 52 = 5x + 10
    3x = 42
    x = 14

    So AU = 14 cm
