Ascale factor of one third is used to make a reduction of the original triangle. what is the base of the reduce triangle

8

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test on edge

Solution: A rhombus abcd  whose area is 72 square units.

Diagonals ac and bd intersect each other at point e.

Also, db= x-1,

ec = 8 units, so, ac=16 units → as diagonals of rhombus bisect each other.

→Area of Rhombus = 1/2 × Product of Diagonals

→ 72 = 1/2×16×(x-1)

→144= 16 (x-1)

Dividing both sides by 16,we get

→ x-1=9

→ x=9+1

→ x=10 units
