1. Area = 1/2 B(base) x H(height)
2. Area = 1/2 9 x 10
3. Area = 1/2 90
4. Area = 45 inches
Answer:
h = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to use Pythagorean theorem.
h² + 8² = 10²
h² = 100 - 64 = 36
h = 6
Answer:
200 ft above sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
500 - 300 = 200ft
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
