Charlene puts together two isosceles triangles so that they share a base, creating a kite. The legs of the triangles are 10 inch

es and 17 inches, respectively. If the length of the base for both triangles is 16 inches long, what is the length of the kite’s other diagonal?

We have to solve for the long diagonal.

Upper half of long diagonal^2 = 10^2 -8^2
Upper half of long diagonal^2 =100 -64
Upper half of long diagonal^2 =36

Upper half of long diagonal = 6



Lower Half of long diagonal^2 = 17^2 -8^2
Lower Half of long diagonal^2 = 289 -64
Lower Half of long diagonal^2 = 225


Lower Half of long diagonal = 15

Long Diagonal = 6 + 15 = 21 inches

Answer:

The length of other diagonal of the kite is 21 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the triangles are ADB and ACB, which share the same base AB,

Such that, AD = DB = 10 inches, AC = BC = 17 inches,

Also, the measure of their base = 16 inches,

⇒ AB = 16 inches

By making the diagram of this situation,

We get,

A kite ADBC,

Where, AB and DC are the diagonals,

We have to find : The measure of DC.

By the diagram, DC > AB,

DC is the major diagonal,

By the definition of kite, DC bisects AB perpendicularly,

Let O is the intersection point,

⇒ Δ AOC and Δ AOD are right triangles,

By the pythagoras theorem,

AC^2=AO^2+OC^2\text{ and }AD^2=AO^2+OD^2

\implies OC=\sqrt{AC^2-AO^2}\text{ and }OD=\sqrt{AD^2-AO^2}

OC = \sqrt{17^2-8^2}\text{ and }OD=\sqrt{10^2-8^2}

OC=\sqrt{289-64}\text{ and }OD=\sqrt{100-64}

\implies OC=\sqrt{225}=15\text{ and }OD=\sqrt{36}=6

Hence, the measure of DC = OD + OC = 15 + 6 = 21 inches.

Plz answer!! thanks

Answer:

x = 10

y = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

60° + (2x + 7y)° = 180° because these two angles are supplementary

So 2x + y would be equal to 60°

60° + (2x + 7y)° = 180° subtract 60 from both sides

2x + 7y = 120 and

2x + y = 60 multiply second equation by -1 and it will be -2x -y = -60 now add it to first equation

2x + 7y -2x - y = 120 - 60 -2x will eliminate 2x

6y = 60 divide both sides by 6

x = 10

if 2x + y = 60 the we need to replace x with the value we found

2×10 + y = 60

y = 40

Any one Know the Answer To This Algebra 1
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to plug in -3 for all of the values of x in the equation.  If we do this, we get:

f(x) = 2x + 3

f(-3) = 2(-3) + 3

Now, we can just simplify the expression found on the right side of the equation using PEMDAS.  First, we should perform the multiplication.

f(-3) = -6 + 3

Next, we should add our final two terms together.

f(-3) = -3

Therefore, the correct answer is -3.

Hope this helps!
