ABCD is a rhombus with the diagonals AC and BD intersecting at the origin on the x-y plane. The equation of the straight line AD is x + y = 1. What is the equation of BC?

Read Solution (Total 1)

x+y=-1

x+y=1 is AD
if x=0
y=1 and if
y=0then x=1
therefore in x+y=-1
if x=0 then y=-1
and if y=0 then x=-1

There is a square field of side 500 m long each. It has a compound wall along its perimeter. At one of its corners, a triangular area of the field is to be cordoned off by erecting a straight-line fence. The compound wall and the fence will form its borders. If the length of the fence is 100 m, what is the maximum area that can be cordoned off? Consider a circle with unit radius. There are seven adjacent sectors, S1,S2,S3, ..., S7, in the circle such that their total area is 1/8 of the area of the circle. Further, the area of the jth sector is twice that of the (j–1)th sector, for j = 2, ..., 7. What is the angle, in radians, subtended by the arc of S1
at the centre of the circle?
