Answer:
the slope is 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
For any kite, we have two pairs of congruent adjacent sides. In general, the kite would have sides of x, x, y , y. In this case, x = 19 is known while y is unknown.
The four sides add up to 52, so
x+x+y+y = perimeter
19+19+y+y = 52
38+2y = 52
2y+38-38 = 52-38 .... subtract 38 from both sides
2y = 14
2y/2 = 14/2 ... divide both sides by 2
y = 7
Therefore the opposite side of the 19 meter side is 7 meters
<h3>Answer: B) 7 meters</h3>
Answer: B) 4 & 1/6
Nice work on getting the correct answer.
============================================================
Explanation:
x is opposite the marked acute angle
5 is opposite the corresponding acute angle
So x and 5 are proportional to each other. We can form the ratio x/5
Similarly, 10 and 12 are proportional to one another. We can form the ratio 10/12.
Set those ratios equal to each other and solve for x
x/5 = 10/12
12x = 5*10 ... cross multiply
12x = 50
x = 50/12 ...... divide both sides by 12
x = (25*2)/(6*2)
x = 25/6
x = (24+1)/6
x = 24/6 + 1/6
x = 4 + 1/6
x = 4 & 1/6 which shows why <u>choice B</u> is the answer.
Side note: 25/6 = 4.167 approximately
1 fourth which as a fraction would look like:
1
