Answer:

9    3/4  inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are finding how much taller Sara is, we need to subtract

6 ft 3 3/4 - 5 ft  6in

I like to line up vertically

  6 ft 3 3/4

- 5 ft  6in

----------------

We  need to borrow 1 ft and make it 12 inches


  5 ft 3+12  3/4

- 5 ft  6in

----------------

   5 ft 15  3/4

- 5 ft  6in

----------------  

  0     9    3/4  inches

Find the area of the missing piece of the polygon and explain your process for finding it:
Otrada [13]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

In short, the sum of the opposite areas are equal.

x + 30 = 24 + 48

x = 42

To prove this, draw a line from each corner to the "center" where the four lines meet.  Along each side of the square are two triangles.  These triangles have the same base and the same height, and therefore have the same area.

If we say the triangles at the bottom have area a, the triangles on the left have area b, the triangles on top have area c, and the triangles on the right have area d, then we can write 4 equations:

a + b = x

b + c = 24

c + d = 30

a + d = 48

Adding the first and third equations:

a + b + c + d = x + 30

Adding the second and fourth equations:

a + b + c + d = 24 + 48

Therefore:

x + 30 = 24 + 48

x = 42

3. Janet is flying a kite on a string that is 75m long. The kite is 62m above the ground. Estimate the distance between Janet an
konstantin123 [22]
Answer: a) It will be a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 75 and a vertical leg that is 62. 
b) The length of the kite string is 75 (given in the problem). However, I believe you are looking for the distance from the spot on the ground beneath the kite to Janet. That is about 42.2 m.

To find the missing distance in the right triangle. You have to use the Pythagorean Theorem.  I set it up and solve it below.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 62^2 = 75^2
x^2 + 3844 = 5625
x^2 = 1781
x = 42.2 (about)
