Answer:

50√3 ≈ 86.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle with the height of the kite being the leg opposite the 60° angle. The hypotenuse has the given length of 100 m.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the relation between angles and the sides of interest here is ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

sin(60°) = (kite height)/(100 m)

kite height = (100 m)·sin(60°) = (100 m)(√3)/2

kite height = 50√3 m ≈ 86.6 m

The original area of a face would be a^2. Now that you added b to the edge, the new area of each face would be (a+b)^2. To find how much the are increased, subtract a^2 from (a+b)^2. $(a+b)^2-(a^2)= a^2+2ab+b^2-(a^2)= 2ab+b^2= b(2a+b)$ So the answer is b(2a+b)
