First you need to find the common denominator. both 6 and 7 go in to 42 evenly
multiply 5/6 by 7 to get 35/42
multiply 2/7 by 6 to get 12/42
subtract 12 from 35 to get 23
23/42
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Solution 1</h3>
The figure (kite) is symmetric and covers half of the area of rectangle with sides 8 units aby 10 units
<u>The area of the rectangle:</u>
<u>The area of the kite:</u>
- A = 1/2*80 = 40 sq. units
<h3>Solution 2</h3>
Split the kite into two triangles and calculate their area and add up
<u>Triangle DCB has b = 8, h = 2 and has area:</u>
- A = 1/2*8*2 = 8 sq. units
<u>Triangle DAB has b = 8, h = 8 and has area:</u>
- A = 1/2*8*8 = 32 sq. units
<u>Total area:</u>
The answer is 5040 degrees.
