A square sheet of paper measures 42 centimeters on each side. What is the length of the diagonal of this paper?

1 answer:

5 0

59.4cm
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal (^ means exponent)
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
42^2 + 42^2= c^2
1764+1764=c^2
3528=c^2
square root both sides
c= 59.39696962
round and you get 59.4 cm

Consider kite WXYZ. What are the values of a and b? a = 4; b = 10. a = 4; b = 40, a = 8; b = 10, a = 8; b = 40

Brut [27]

Check the picture below.

let's recall that a kite is a quadrilateral, and thus is a polygon with 4 sides

sum of all interior angles in a polygon

180(n - 2) n = number of sides

so for a quadrilateral that'd be 180( 4 - 2 ) = 360, thus

$\bf 3b+70+50+3b=360\implies 6b+120=360\implies 6b=240 \\\\\\ b=\cfrac{240}{6}\implies b=40 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \overline{XY}=\overline{YZ}\implies 3a-5=a+11\implies 2a-5=11 \\\\\\ 2a=16\implies a=\cfrac{16}{2}\implies a=8$
