Answer:

E. √180

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (c = hypotenuse, a and b are legs)

a^2 = c^2 - b^2

a^2 = 18^2 - 12^2

a^2 = 324 - 144

a^2 = 180

a = √180

Answer

E. √180

Answer: D. SSS

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution would be SSS because the image shows that AB is congruent to DE, BC is congruent to EF, and AC is congruent to DF. Because the image shows that all three sides are congruent to their corresponding side on the other triangle, with no mention of angles, the triangles are congreunt through the SSS theorem.

A kite has a height of 36 inches and a width of 30 inches. Explain how to use the area formula for a triangle to find the area o

mote1985 [20]

Height of the kite is = 36 inches.

Width of the kite is = 30 inches

One of the ways to find the area is to draw a vertical line to break the kite into two equal triangles. Mark the base as 36 inches and height as 15 inches .

Now we will use the formula $area=\frac{1}{2}*base*height$ to find the area of each triangle. Then we will add both the areas to find the area of the kite.
