This is the concept of trigonometry and its identities;
We are required to calculate the length of the kite's diagonals;
Here we use the trigonometric identities;
let theta=x
tan x=opposite/adjacent
opposite=17
adjacent=10
thus
tan x=17/10
x=tan^-1 17/10
x=59.54
Therefore half the length of the diagonal will be given by:
sin x=h/10
h=10 sin x
h=10 sin 59.54
h=8.62
thus the length of the diagonal will be:
2*8.62
=17.24 in

So 81/9=9 so area of pantry is 9

3 times x=9
3x=9
divide both sides by 3
x=3

anygoal [31]

Answer:

1970.5 thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Vehicle sales in 2009 = 10,002 thousand

Vehicle sales in 2013 = 17,884 thousand

Required

Determine the average rate of change;

From the given parameters, it can be seen that the number of vehicles is a function of year

Let x represent the years and y represent the number of vehicles;

Such that;

x_1 = 2009;\ y_1 = 10,002

x_2 = 2013;\ y_2 = 17,884

The rate of change is calculate as follows;

m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}

m = \frac{10002 - 17884}{2009 - 2013}

m = \frac{-7882}{-4}

m = \frac{-7882}{-4}

m = 1970.5

Hence, the average rate of change is 1970.5 thousand
