Answer:

<u>The perimeter of the kite is 29 units.</u>

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

<u>Length of UV  = 5 units ⇒ Length of VW = 5 units</u>

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

<u>Length of UV  = 9.5 units (rounding to the nearest tenth) ⇒ Length of WX= 9.5 units</u>

<u>4. </u>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

<u>Perimeter of the kite = 29 units</u>

Answer:

x = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

The external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ PQS is an external angle of the triangle, thus

x + 72 = 90 + 34 = 124 ( subtract 72 from both sides )

x = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

well it seems like each row is being increased by 8 seats each time.

we start with 4 seats in the 1st row. 12 in the 2nd. and 20 in the 3rd. I will make a chart showing you how many seats are in each row.

4th row - 28  5th row - 36   6th row - 44   7th row - 52   8th row - 60   9th - 68   10th - 76   11th - 84    12th - 92   13th - 100    14th - 108   15th - 116   16th- 124    17th - 132   18th - 140    19th - 148    20th - 156

if we add these all together you will get 1,600
