*see attachment for the figure described

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given the figure attached below, let where FH and EG intercepted be K.

Since FH are midpoints of parallel lines, KE = KG = x.

Given that the area of the kite EFGH = 35 square units, and we know the length of one of the diagonals = HF = KF + KH = 2 + 5 = 7, we can solve for x using the formula for the area of a kite.

Area of kite = ½ × d1 × d2

Where d1 = KH = 7

d2 = EG = KE + KG = x + x = 2x

Area of kite EFGH = 35

THUS:

35 = ½ × 7 × 2x

35 = 1 × 7 × x

35 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7

35/7 = x

x = 5

50 POINTS!!! In rectangle ABCD, AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm, and DE = DF. The area of triangle DEF is one-fourth the area of rectangle
aalyn [17]

Answer:

EF=4\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

In rectangle ABCD, AB = 6, BC = 8, and DE = DF.

ΔDEF is one-fourth the area of rectangle ABCD.

We want to determine the length of EF.

First, we can find the area of the rectangle. Since the length AB and width BC measures 6 by 8, the area of the rectangle is:

A_{\text{rect}}=8(6)=48\text{ cm}^2

The area of the triangle is 1/4 of this. Therefore:

\displaystyle A_{\text{tri}}=\frac{1}{4}(48)=12\text{ cm}^2

The area of a triangle is half of its base times its height. The base and height of the triangle is DE and DF. Therefore:

\displaystyle 12=\frac{1}{2}(DE)(DF)

Since DE = DF:

24=DF^2

Thus:

DF=\sqrt{24}=\sqrt{4\cdot 6}=2\sqrt{6}=DE

Since ABCD is a rectangle, ∠D is a right angle. Then by the Pythagorean Theorem:

(DE)^2+(DF)^2=(EF)^2

Therefore:

(2\sqrt6)^2+(2\sqrt6)^2=EF^2

Square:

24+24=EF^2

Add:

EF^2=48

And finally, we can take the square root of both sides:

EF=\sqrt{48}=\sqrt{16\cdot 3}=4\sqrt{3}

What is the area and perimeter of a rectangle that has base of 18 inches and height of 5 inches
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

area is 90 and perimeter is 46

Step-by-step explanation:

the area for a rectangle is l * w, so 18*5 is 90, and the perimeter is 2l+2w, which is 46.

What is the sum of the series? Write in expanded form making sure to show all steps used to find the sum
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

k = 3

-2(3) + 5 = -1

k = 4

-2(4) + 5 = -3

k = 5

-2(5) + 5 = -5

k = 6

-2(6) + 5 = -7

(-1) + (-3) + (-5) + (-7)

= -16
