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.

Answer: Ball's kinetic energy became potential energy

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no options attached but this should be along the lines of what happened.

Kinetic energy refers to energy that an object has as a result of it moving whilst potential energy is the opposite and is energy that an object stores within itself due to several factors whilst it is not in motion.

The ball was initially in motion which means that it had kinetic energy but as the ball was slowing down, this energy was gradually converted to potential energy until the balls came to a standstill.

The area of a square concrete slab is 20 square feet. Find the side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increase b
guapka [62]

The side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet

The formula for calculating the area of a square is expressed as:

A =  L² where:

L is the side length of the square

Given the area of the square concrete slab = 20 square feet

20 = L²

L =√20

If the area is increased  by 25%, new area will be:

An = 20 + (0.25*20)

An = 20 + 5

An = 25 sq.ft

Get the new length

An = Ln²

25 =   Ln²

Ln = √25

Ln = 5feet

Hence the side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet

KIM [24]
For this case what you should do is use the following trigonometric relationship
 senx = (1200) / (2400)
 senx = 0.5
 Clearing the angle we have
 x = ASIN (0.5)
 x = 30
 Answer:
 The angle of elevation from the base to the top of the mountain is 30 °
