Please help me on this homework assignment, 20 points to whoever can help me and give me a good answer. it is asking for the height and the bottom number under the 90 degree angle is 6.

h = 3 sqrt(21)

or

h = 13.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the rhombus is 60 feet. Like a square, all the sides of a rhombus are equal. Therefore your first step is to find FK which is a side.

FK = 60/4 = 15 feet.

Now you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 6

b = height or = h

c = 15

6^2 + b^2 = 15^2

36 + b^2 = 225

b^2 = 225 - 36

b^2 = 189

sqrt(b^2)= sqrt(189)

b = sqrt(3 * 3 * 3 * 7)  You can take out the square of 3 * 3 and make it 3.

b = 3 * sqrt(3*7)

b = 3 * sqrt(21)

80%

15 are on the council, so 75-15 = 60 are not on the council. Therefore, 60/75 = 0.80 = 80% of the students aren't on the council.

An alternative way to find this answer is to compute 15/75 = 0.20 = 20% showing that 20% of the students are on the council, so 100% - 20% = 80% are not on the council.
