Answer:
Area = 33 inches squared
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a kite is:
Area = ½ × (d)1 × (d)2
To find the first diagonal (d1):
d1 = 7 in + 4 in = 11 in
To find the second diagonal (d2):
The triangles on the right of the kite must be 3 4 5 triangle since it is a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 5 and a side of 4, we know half of a diagonal would be 3 inches.
d2 = 3 in + 3 in = 6 in
Now we can plug the diagonals into the area formula.
Area = ½ × 11 × 6 = 33 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:
Answers:
- Total equation: x+y = 80
- Legs equation: 2x+4y = 248
- How many ducks? 36
- How many cows? 44
====================================================
Further explanation:
- x = number of ducks
- y = number of cows
x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.
That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.
The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...
- 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
- 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
- 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined
We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248
------------
Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.
2x+4y = 248
2x+4( y ) = 248
2x+4( 80-x ) = 248
2x+320-4x = 248
-2x+320 = 248
-2x = 248-320
-2x = -72
x = -72/(-2)
x = 36
There are 36 ducks
Now use this x value to find y
y = 80-x
y = 80-36
y = 44
There are 44 cows.
------------
Check:
36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total
36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total
The answers are confirmed.
Answer:
$2,860
Step-by-step explanation:
2,500 * 3.8% = 90 in interest a year
