base angles is 45°. Find the length of the altitude of the trapezoid.

2. In an isosceles ΔABC, the vertex angle C has a measure of 120°. The length of AC is 8 ft..

a. Find the length of the altitude to segment AB.

b. Find the length of AB.

3. Find the perimeter of a square if it has a diagonal of length 12 cm.

4. The perimeter of a rhombus is 24 and one of the angles measures 60°. Find the lengths
of the 2 diagonals of the rhombus.

5. If the side opposite the 60 angle in a 30  60  90 is 21 centimeters, then what is the
length of the side opposite the 30 angle?
 6. If the side opposite the 60 angle in a 30  60  90 is 6 3 meters, then what is the
length of the side opposite the 90 angle?

13. A baseball “diamond” is actually a square. Each side of the diamond measures 90 feet in
length. If a player is trying to slide into home base and the ball is at second base, how far does
the second baseman have to throw the ball to the catcher at home base? Round to the
nearest tenth.
