Hey there! :D

Think of this like a triangle. The dock is 15 feet above ground. It is the side of the triangle. The line connecting the bottom of the dock to the base of the conveyor belt is 40 feet. This is like the base. 

The conveyor belt itself is at a diagonal, and should be the hypotenuse. 

Use the Pythagorean theorem. 

a^2+b^2=c^2

15^2+40^2= c^2 

225+1,600= c^2

Add the values together. 

1,825= c^2

Find the square root of 1,825. 

c= 42.7 (rounded to the nearest tenth) 

The conveyor belt is 42.7 feet long.

I hope this helps!

Suppose a kite has two congruent angles of 100°. Of the remaining angles, one is four times larger than the other. What is the m
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The measure of the largest angle in the kite is 128 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The sum of the interior angles in any quadrilateral must be equal to 360 degrees

A kite is a quadrilateral

Let

A,B,C and D the measure of the interior angles

so

A+B+C+D=360^o

we have that

A=B=100^o

substitute

100^o+100^o+C+D=360^o

C+D=160^o ----> equation A

Remember that

one is four times larger than the other

so

C=4D ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

4D+D=160

solve for D

5D=160\\D=32^o

Find the measure of angle C

C=4(32)=128^o

therefore

The measure of the largest angle in the kite is 128 degrees

harkovskaia [24]
The perimeter of rectangle is 2L + 2W where L is length and W is width.
Then substitute and evaluate:
2(2x + 7) + 2(3x + 8y)
4x + 14 + 6x + 16y
10x + 16y + 14
