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!

Answer:
the clock will represent 4.5 billion years as 2.67 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Total time of history of Earth = 4.5 billion years
Representation of total time of history of Earth on clock = 12 hours
Therefore,
4.5 billion years = 12 hours
or
⇒ 1 billion year =
or
⇒ 1 billion year = 2.67 hours
Hence,
the clock will represent 4.5 billion years as 2.67 hours
Answer:
i (or no solution if you haven't learned about imaginary numbers yet)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing you want to do is isolate x, or get x alone.
7x²+46=32
=> 7x²+46-46=32-46
=>7x²=-14
=>7x²÷7=-14÷7
=>x²=-2
If you have learned about imaginary numbers read on. If not, you have to realize that squaring any number can't result in a negative number. This means that there is no solution.
If you have learned about imaginary numbers, read on.
Now that you have x^2=-2, you can take the square root of both sides.
x=
Using a property about square roots (I don't know what it's called)
the equation becomes:
x=
And since =i, you can substitute in this value in to get x=i
