Complete question is;

Some car jacks are constructed like a collapsed rhombus. When used to raise a car, the rhombus is easily seen. If the sides of the rhombus are 15 inches, what is the maximum length of the shaft?

Maximum length of shaft = 30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand this clearly, I've attached a real life image of a car jack that's in the shape of a rhombus.

From the attached image, we can see that it has four sides which are equal in length.

Now, if this jack is collapsed, the shaft will just be like a straight line with a maximum length equal to twice a side of the rhombus which represents the maximum length of the diagonal.

Since we are told that one side of the rhombus is 15 inches, it means that the maximum length of shaft = 2 × 15 = 30 inches

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour =

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second=   which is the required answer.
