Question

The diagonals of a kite have lengths of x inches and 18x inches. The area of the kite is given by A=9x^2. Identify the equation(s) that represent the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer diagonal of a kite bisects the shorter diagonal.

The diagram of the kite is shown in the attached image to this solution.

The total area of the kite = The sum of the area of the two triangles that make up the kite.

Total area = (½bh + ½bh) = bh

b = 18x

h = (x/2)

Total area of the kite = (x/2)(18x) = 9x²

Just as the question predicts.

Hope this Helps!!!
