A property from geometry states that rectangles have congruent opposite sides. Thus, no matter which diagonal Reggie cuts, it still has the same lengths. Since it's a rectangle and we cut from corner to corner, we create a right triangle. See the picture below:
<u>___________12 inches_______</u>
7 |
i |
n |
Because it's a rectangle, it won't matter which corner we cut. But if we fold at the cut lines, we would make an in the rectangle's center.
The cut line and two sides make a right triangle. One leg is 12, one leg is 7, and we need to find the third side. The Pythagorean Theorem - sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse - is applied.
Let S = the length of the side from corner to corner
S² = 12² + 7²
S² = 144 + 49
S² = 193
S = √193 or -√193
Because we are dealing with lengths, we only want positive numbers. -√193 is not used. Thus S = √193
S = √193 = 13.8924439894
S = 18.92 (rounded to two places)
Thus, Reggie will cut 18.92 inches of paper.
Answer:
54 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a kite is the two diagonals multiplied and then divided by 2.
3+3=6
12+6=18
18(6)=108
108/2=54
Therefore, 54 m^2
I hope this helped and have a good rest of your day!
Answer:
9.42 years (= 113 months)
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the compound rate interest formula:

where:
- A = amount
- P = principal
- r = interest rate (in decimal format)
- n = number of times interest is compounded per unit t
- t = time
Given:
- A = $7850
- P = $5000
- r = 4.8% = 0.048
- n = 12
- t = years
