Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting yards to feet means that we want the label of yards to cancel, leaving feet as our label. Use the factor-label method taught in chemistry.

$???yds *\frac{3feet}{1yd}$

The yards label cancels out, leaving feet as our label. So to answer the question, in order to convert from yards to feet you are multiplying by 3.

Charlene puts together two isosceles triangles so that they share a base, creating a kite. The legs of the triangles are 10 inch

enot [183]

From the information given you have:

1) Smaller diagonal of the kite: 16 inches

2) Larger diagonal of the kite: height of one triangle (h1) + height of the other triangle (h2)

3) Calculation of the height of the smaller triangle, h1:

10^2 = (16/2)^2 + (h1)^2 => h1 = √ [10^2 - 8^2] = 6

4) Calculation of the height of the larger triangle, h2

17^2 = (16/2)^2 + (h2)^2 => h2 = √[17^2 - 8^2] = 15

5) Larger diagonal = h1 + h2 = 6 + 15 = 21

Answer: 21 inches
