Kite EFGH is inscribed in a rectangle where F and H are midpoints of parallel sides. The area of EFGH is 35 square units. What i
s the value of x? 4 units 5 units 6 units 7 units
1 answer:
*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

The marginal distribution for gender tells you the probability that a randomly selected person taken from this sample is either male or female, regardless of their blood type.
In this case, we have total sample size of 714 people. Of these, 379 are male and 335 are female. Then the marginal probability mass function would be
where G is a random variable taking on one of two values (male or female).
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.
bearing in mind that, when she's going downstream, she's not going 40 mph, she's going 40 + 4 mph, because the stream is adding its speed to it.
likewise, when she's going upstream, she's going 40 - 4 mph, because the stream is eroding speed from it, thus
so, "u" is 16 minutes and 40 seconds.
and "d" is 13 minutes and about 38 seconds.
