Kate has a kite with the dimensions shown below. What is the value of X?
1 answer:
Hey there! :D
We will use the properties of similar triangles to figure this out.
We will use two triangles inside the kite, with sides with the value of "x".
Smaller triangle:
Smaller side= 11
Bottom side= x
Bigger triangle:
Smaller side= x
Bottom side= 25
Cross multiply.
25*11= 275
x*x=
Find the square root.
√275= 16.583....
Or 5√11.
I hope this helps!

The square root of 24 would be plotted between 4 and 5, but closer to 5 on a number line.
<h3>What is a number line?</h3>A number line is a horizontal line with evenly spaced numerical increments. The numbers on the line will dictate how you answer the number on the line.
A number line in elementary mathematics is a representation of a graduated straight line that serves as an abstraction for real numbers, denoted by \mathbb {R}. Every point on a number line is assumed to be a real number, and every real number is assumed to be a point.
Number lines are extremely adaptable, that can be used to locate numbers, compare numbers, fractions and mixed numbers, decimals, integers, absolute value, addition, subtraction, inequalities, multiples, common denominators, and much more.
