Answer:

You can view a kite as 4 triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric kite can easily be viewed as 4 triangles.  The formula to calculate the area of a kite (width x height)/2 is very similar to the one of a triangle (base x height)/2.

According to the formula to calculate the area of a kite, we would get:

(36 x 30)/2 = 540.

If we take the approach of using 4 triangles, we could imagine a shape formed by 4 triangles measuring 18 inches wide with a height of 15.

The area of each triangle would then be: (18 x 15)/2 = 135

If we multiply this 135 by 4... we get 540.

Answer:

Draw a vertical line to break the kite into two equal triangles with a base of 36 and a height of 15. Use the formula A = 1/2bh to find the area of each. The sum of the areas is the area of the kite.

Step-by-step explanation:

A collection of 77 quarters and dimes is worth $12.50. How many quarters and dimes are there? Set it up plz
mihalych1998 [28]
So let's say quarters = x and dimes = y. You'd then put x + y = 77 (for a total of 77 coins). And your second equation would be .25x + .10y = 12.50 (.25 for the total value a quarter holds and .10 for a total value a dime holds). Then you'd do matrices on a calculator.

I've been stuck on this for so long and I have an exam soon, anybody who can help me :'( ?

(i)  speed = distance / time
so time =  distance / speed
here we have

time t = 1080/x  hours

(ii) return flight  time  = 1080 / (x + 30)  hours

(a)  1080/x - 1080/(x + 30) = 1/2

Multiplying  through by the LCD 2x(x + 30) we get:-

1080*2(x + 30) - 2x*1080 = x(x+30)
2160x + 64800 - 2160x = x^2 + 30x
x^2 + 30x - 64800  = 0

(b)  factoring;  -64800 = 270 * -240  ans 270-240 = 30 so we have

(x + 270)(x - 240) = 0   so x = 240  ( we ignore the negative -270)

So the speed for outward journey is 240 km/hr

(c) time ffor outward flight = 1080 / 240 =  4 1/2  hours

(d) average speed for whole flight = distance / time
   Time for outward journey = 4.5 hours and time for  return journey = d / v
= 1080 / (240+30) =  4 hours
 Therefore the average speed for whole journey =  2160 / 8.5 = 254.1 km/hr

A bike wheel is shown. Chords I J and L K intersect at point M. The length of I M is 16 centimeters, the length of M J is 7 cent
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The diameter of the wheel is 32 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u><em>intersecting chords theorem</em></u> states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal.

so

In this problem

(LM)(MK)=(IM)(MJ)

substitute the given values

(4)(x)=(16)(7)

solve for x

x=16(7)/4\\x=28\ cm

Remember that

LK goes through the center of the wheel

That means----> LK is a diameter

LK=4+x\\LK=4+28=32\ cm

therefore

The diameter of the wheel is 32 centimeters
