Charlene puts together two isosceles triangles so that they share a base, creating a kite. The legs of the triangles are 10 inch

es and 17 inches, respectively. If the length of the base for both triangles is 16 inches long, what is the length of the kite’s other diagonal?

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

Find the total area for the pyramid with the equilateral base.<br><br> T. A. =
Lena [83]

Answer:

T.A. = 144 + 36√3 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The total surface area of the pyramid = the sum of the area of

   the four  faces (one base and 3 side faces)

∵ The 3 side faces have the same dimensions 12 , 10 , 10

∴ the area of the 3 faces = 3 × 1/2 × 12 × h

∵ The height of each triangle is ⊥ to its base

∵ The triangle are isosceles

∴ The height bisects the base

∴ h² = 10² - 6² = 64

∴ h = √64 = 8

∴ The area of the 3 triangles = 3 × 1/2 × 12 × 8 = 144 units²

∵ The base is equilateral Δ with side length 12

∵ Area equilateral triangle = 1/4 × s² × √3

∴ The area of the base = 1/4 × (12)² × √3 = 36√3 units²

∴ T.A. = 144 + 36√3 units²

the pre-image of a triangle are A(-3,1), B(-1,0) and c(-1,4) if c maps to C' (-3,0) what's the rule of the translation and the c
Hatshy [7]
To get from C(-1, 4) to C'(-3,0), we must subtract the x value by -2. This gets us -3 (-1-2=-3). To get from 4 to 0, we must subtract the y-values by 4. This gets us a translation of 2 left and 4 down or T₋₂,₋₄

The time t required to drive certain distance varies inversely with the speed r. It takes 2 hours to drive the distance at 40 mi
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

\frac{16}{9}  hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever 2 quantities (suppose a and b) are inversely proportional to each other, we can write an proportionality equation (with k as proportional constant) as:

a=\frac{k}{b}

Since, here t is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to r, we can say:

t=\frac{k}{r}

Firstly, we have t = 2 hour and r = 40 mph, so we find k:

t=\frac{k}{r}\\2=\frac{k}{40}\\k=2*40\\k=80

Now, secondly, we have r = 45 and k = 80, we need to find t:

t=\frac{80}{45}\\t=\frac{16}{9}

So, it would take  \frac{16}{9}  hours

what is 3/4 ÷ 3 3/4. I have to write at least 20 characters so I am going to write random stuff. KLJHGUFYTDXRRTCFYVGUBHINJONIHKU
Julli [10]
1/5 is the answer. How to slove: You turn the mixed number into an improper fraction which would be 15/4 =, because 4(3)= 12 + 3 = 15 and the denominator stays the same so it would be 15/4. Next, multiply ( the but dont forget to "flip" the improper fraction so it's 4/15)  3/4(4/15)= 1/5

mr.rai sells a watch set for rs2,035 at 10% profit . how much money has he paid to buy the watch also find profit amount
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

paid to buy = 1850

profit = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

2035 = 110%

1% ~ = 18.5

100% = 1850

2035 - 1850 = 185

185 / 1850 * 100 = 10% profit
