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.

Taylor has 84 pennies and 300 dimes. How much money does that make?
irinina [24]
A penny is worth 1 cents. So, 84 pennies is 84 cents or $0.84
A dime is worth 10 cents, So, 300 dimes is 30 dollars or $30 dollars

$0.84 + $30 = $30.84
84 pennies and 300 dimes is equivalent to 30 dollars and 84 cents.

Find the least common denominator for these two rational expressions 7/n^2 -8/7n
lianna [129]

Answer:

7n²

Step-by-step explanation:

7/n² - 8/7n

Least common multiple will be the least common denominator

L.C.M = 7n²

Dividing the L.C.M by denominators and multiplying with numerators;

((7×7) - (n×8))/7n²

= (49 - 8n)/7n²

7n² is the least common denominator

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,2) and has a slope of 1/4
zubka84 [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line is y-y1 = m(x-x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the given point.

y-2 = 1/4*(x-(-4))

y-2 = 1/4 * (x+4)

4*(y-2) = x+4

Equation of the line is,

x-4y = -12
