Answer:

Option C - BD=76 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : You are designing a diamond-shaped kite. you know that AD = 44.8 cm, DC = 72 cm, and AC = 84.8 cm.

To find : How long BD should it be?

Solution :

First we draw a rough diagram.

The given sides were AD = 44.8 cm, DC = 72 cm and AC = 84.8 cm.

According to properties of kite

Two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are congruent.

So, AD=AB=44.8 cm

DC=BC=72 cm

The diagonals are perpendicular.

So, AC ⊥ BD

Let O be the point where diagonal intersect let let the partition be x and y.

AC= AO+OC

AC=  x+y=84.8 .......[1]

Perpendicular bisect the diagonal BD into equal parts let it be z.

BD=BO+OD

BD=z+z

Applying Pythagorean theorem in ΔAOD

where H=AD=44.8 ,P= AO=x , B=OD=z

H^2=P^2+B^2

(44.8)^2=x^2+z^2  .........[2]

Applying Pythagorean theorem in ΔCOD

where H=DC=72 ,P= OC=y , B=OD=z

H^2=P^2+B^2

(72)^2=y^2+z^2 ............[3]

Subtract [2] and [3]

(72)^2-(44.8)^2=y^2+z^2-x^2-z^2

5184-2007.04=(x+y)(x-y)

3176.96=(84.8)(x-y)

37.464=x-y ..........[4]

Add equation [1] and [4], to get values of x and y

x+y+x-y=84.8+37.464

2x=122.264

x=61.132

Substitute x in [1]

x+y=84.8

61.132+y=84.8

y=23.668

Substitute value of x in equation [2], to get z

(44.8)^2=x^2+z^2

(44.8)^2=(23.668)^2+z^2

2007.04-560.174224=z^2

z=\sqrt{1446.865776}

z=38.06

We know, BD=z+z

BD= 38.06+38.06

BD= 76.12

Nearest to whole number BD=76 cm

Therefore, Option c - BD=76 cm is correct.

1. ) 1 thru 9 are both natural numbers and whole numbers. 0 is a whole number, but not a natural number.

2.) 6...it is a natural number because it is a counting number and it is whole, it is a whole number and it is an integer as well. It is also rational because it can be turned into a fraction 6/1.

3.) -2 is a rational number because it can be turned into a fraction -2/1, but it is not a whole number because it contains a negative.

4.) That number would be 0

Special right triangles, find x and y
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is x = 17.32; y = 8.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Use trigonometric functions to find x and y

   a) sin Ф = \frac{opposite side}{hypotenuse}

      Ф = 60°

      opposite side = 15

      hypotenuse = ?

     hypotenuse = \frac{opposite side}{sin \alpha }

     hypotenuse = \frac{15}{sin 60}

     hypotenuse = \frac{15}{0.87}

            hypotenuse = 17.32

     b) cosФ = \frac{y}{hypotenuse}

         y = hypotenuse x cos 60

         y = 17.32 x 0.5

                y = 8.67
