Answer:

104 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A kite has two pairs of consecutive, congruent sides.

Therefore, BC = AB  and  AD = DC

We can use this to determine the values of x and y, and then the perimeter of the kite.

If BC = AB

⇒ 5x = 3x + 12

Subtract 3x from both sides:

⇒ 2x = 12

Divide both sides by 2

⇒ x = 6

If AD = DC

⇒ 11y - 22 = 7y - 6

Subtract 7y from both sides:

⇒ 4y - 22 = -6

Add 22 to both sides:

⇒ 4y = 16

Divide both sides by 4:

⇒ y = 4

As BC = AB  and  AD = DC

⇒ perimeter = 2 (BC + AD)

                     = 2 (5x + 11y - 22)

Substituting found values of x and y:

⇒ perimeter = 2 (5(6) + 11(4) - 22)

                     = 2 (30 + 44 - 22)

                     = 2 (52)

                     = 104 inches

  • 5x=3x+12
  • 2x=12
  • x=6

And

  • 11y-22=7y-6
  • 4y=16
  • y=4

So

  • 7y-6=7(4)-6=28-6=22
  • 5x=5(6)=30

Perimeter:-

  • 2(30)+2(22)
  • 2(30+22)
  • 2(52)
  • 104in

Lucy’s parents built a swimming pool in the backyard. Use 3.14 for π.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Distance around the pool = 162.8 feet

Area of the pool = 957 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance around the swimming pool = Perimeter of the pool

Perimeter of the pool which is a composite figure will be,

= Circumference of the semicircle + Sum of three sides of the pool

= πr + 2×(length of the pool) + width of the pool

= 3.14×(10) + 2×40 + 20

= 62.8 + 80 + 20

= 162.8 ft

Area of the pool = Area of the semicircle + Area of the rectangular pool

                           = \frac{1}{2}(\pi)(r)^{2}+(\text{length}\times \text{Width})

                           = \frac{1}{2}(3.14)(10)^2+(40\times 20)

                           = 157 + 800

                           = 957 square feet
