Answer:

The perimeter of the kite is 29 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the perimeter of the kite:

With the information given, we have four right triangles with a new point A, intersecting UW and VX. Those triangles are:

Δ UVA

Δ VWA

Δ UXA

Δ XWA

As we can see in the figure, length of UV and VW is the same and the length of UX and WX is also the same.

2. Let's find the value of UV and VW

UV is the hypotenuse of Δ UVA and it sides are 3 and 4 units length. So, we can calculate the length of UV this way:

Length of UV ² = UA ² + VA ²

Replacing with the real values:

Length of UV ² = 3 ² + 4 ²

Length of UV ² = 9 + 16

Length of UV ² = 25

√Length of UV ² = √25

Length of UV = 5 units ⇒ Length of VW = 5 units

3. Let's find the value of UX and WX

UX is the hypotenuse of Δ UXA and it sides are 3 and 9 units length. So, we can calculate the length of UX this way:

Length of UX ² = UA ² + XA ²

Replacing with the real values:

Length of UX ² = 3 ² + 9 ²

Length of UX ² = 9 + 81

Length of UV ² = 90

√Length of UV ² = √90

Length of UV = 9.5 units (rounding to the nearest tenth) ⇒ Length of WX= 9.5 units

4. Let's calculate the perimeter of the kite:

Perimeter of the kite = UV + VW + WX + UX

Perimeter of the kite = 5 + 5 + 9.5 + 9.5

Perimeter of the kite = 29 units

A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.2 in. and standard deviation 2.4 in. The survey also

Effectus [21]

Answer: 99.51%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed.

Population mean : $\mu =63.2 \text{ inches}$

Standard deviation: $\sigma= 2.4\text{ inches}$

Minimum height = 4ft. 9 in.= $4\times12+9\text{ in.}=57\text{ in.}$

Maximum height = 6ft. 2 in.= $6\times12+2\text{ in.}=74\text{ in.}$

Let x be the random variable that represent the women's height.

z-score : $z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For x=57, we have

$z=\dfrac{57-63.2}{2.4}\approx-2.58$

For x=74, we have

$z=\dfrac{74-63.2}{2.4}\approx4.5$

Now, by using the standard normal distribution table, we have

The probability of women meeting the height requirement :-

$P(-2.58$

Hence, the percentage of women meeting the height requirement = 99.51%

Marie spends $450.00 at a department store. She has two coupons: one for a 15% discount and one for $50 off any purchase above $

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Her first coupon ti be used is $50 off a purchase above $300

Final purchase price= $340

Step-by-step explanation:

Marie has two coupons

one for a 15% discount and one for $50 off any purchase above $300.

The stores allow the two coupons to be combined and she spends a total of $450.

Her first coupon ti be used is $50 off a purchase above $300.

So Marie have $400 now

15% off $400= 400-(0.15*400)

15% off $400 = 400-60

15% off $400 =$ 340
