Answer:
We know that the kite with the tail is 15 feet and 6 inches. While 6 inches is 0,50 foot, it's 15,5 feet. If the lenght of the kite is x, then:
15,5 = x + 1,5 + 2x
15,5 = 3x + 1,5 / - 1,5 (both sides)
14 = 3x / : 3 (both sides)
x ≈ 4,66
The kite is approx .4,66 feet long. It means that the tail is about 15,5 - 4,66 = 10,84 feet long.
Answer:
The answers to the first question are A,C,D
The answer to the second question is YZ=16
Step-by-step explanation:
(1st Question)
Since <K and <M Are equal, and both <L's are equal, KL and ML are congruent (Answer choice) because of the ASA postulate.
You need to create the following equation to find the length of KN and MN 7x-4=5x+12
(Get the "x" variable to one side)
2x-4=12
(Isolate the variable)(Remove the 4)
2x=16
(Divide the 2 by itself to remove it from the x, remember to divide both sides by 2)
x=8 (Answer Choice)
Plug in the x value into each equation
KN= 7(8)-4
KN= 56-4
KN= 52
MN= 5(8)+12
MN= 40+12
MN= 52 (Answer Choice)
MN=KN
(Second Question)
Since XWY(20) is half of XWZ(40), ZWY also equals 20.
This now proves the triangle is congruent by the AAS postulate.
Since the triangles are congruent, if XY = 16, YZ also equals 16.
I’m pretty sure it’s added, subtracted, added !
Simplify both sides then isolate the variable
t=10
