Question

Use the image to answer the question.

3 shapes are shown side by side: an equilateral triangle, a rhombus, and a square. Each has a vertical line that bisects it. Each has a hook-like shape extending from the top. Measurements labels are included for the bisecting line and an exterior face. The base of the triangle is labeled 4 inches and the bisecting line is labeled 2 times start root 3 end root inches. The side of the rhombus is labeled 3 inches and the bisecting line is labeled 3 times starts root 2 end root inches. The side of the square is labeled 4 inches and the bisecting line is labeled 4 inches.

A company makes hanging ornaments in various shapes. The heights of the ornaments are shown. Using a calculator, order these ornaments from tallest to shortest.

Answer 1

To determine the heights of the ornaments based on the provided information:

1. **Equilateral Triangle:**
- Base = 4 inches
- Height (bisecting line) = \( 2\sqrt{3} \) inches
- Calculate: \( 2\sqrt{3} \approx 3.46 \) inches

2. **Rhombus (Diamond):**
- Side = 3 inches
- Height (bisecting line) = \( 3\sqrt{2} \) inches
- Calculate: \( 3\sqrt{2} \approx 4.24 \) inches

3. **Square:**
- Side = 4 inches
- Height (bisecting line) = 4 inches

Now, let’s order these heights:
- **Rhombus**: approximately 4.24 inches (tallest)
- **Square**: 4 inches (second)
- **Triangle**: approximately 3.46 inches (shortest)

Therefore, when ordered from tallest to shortest, the correct sequence is:

**diamond, square, triangle**

So the answer is:
**diamond, square, triangle**
