Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

A = B + 2

C = B - 3

A x C = 66

A = Andrew

C = Chris

B = Beatrice

Multiply A and c together

(B + 2) x (b - 3)

b^2 - 3b + 2b - 6

b^2 -b - 6 = 66

b^2 - b - 72 = 0

factors of -72b^2 that add up to - b are -9b + 8b

b^2 + 8b -9b - 72

b (b + 8) -9(b + 8)

b = 9 or - 8

b = 9

Answer:

The first thing you should do for this case is to draw the ordered pairs in the plane and join the points.

 The area you are looking for is the area of a rectangle plus the area of a triangle.

 Thus, the total area will be

 At = (8) * (4.5) + (1/2) * (4) * (2.5) = 41

 answer

 the area of the city is 41 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

41 square miles If you draw the outline of the city, you'll realize that if you draw a line from point B to point D, that you can subdivide the city into a triangle and a trapezoid. After performing the division, you can then calculate the area of both polygons and the add their areas together. So first, let's deal with the trapezoid ABDE. The area of a trapezoid is the average of the length of the parallel sides multiplied by the height. The parallel sides are AB and DE. So: ((18-10)+(14-10))*(9-4.5)/2 =(9 + 4)*(4.5)/2 = 12*4.5/2 = 27 Now for the area of triangle BCD. The area of a triangle is 0.5*b*h where b is the base and h the height. I'll use BC as the base and the distance from BC to D as the height. So: (9-2)*(18-14)/2 = 7*4/2 = 14 And now to add the areas. 27 + 14 = 41 So the area of the city is 41 square miles. Note: The subdivision used is not the only possible subdivision, just one of the easier ones. I could have divided the city area into 3 triangles ABE, BDE, and BCD and solved it that way instead. It was just a happy coincidence that AB and DE were parallel and as such I was able to use trapezoid ABDE instead of the two triangles ABE and BDE.

What is the measure of the angle at the tail end of the kite?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

58°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of interior angles is equal to 360° the rectangle has two right angles (right angles has a measure of 90°) and one of the angle is given as 122° so if we add these up

122 + 90 + 90 = 302 and 360 - 302 = 58.
