Answer:
a = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
- 1/4a - 4 = 7/4a - 3
- 1/4a - 7/4a = - 3 + 4
- 8/4a = 1
- a = 1 / 8/4
- a = 1 * 4/8
- a = 4/8
- a = 1/2
a = - 1/2
The line, shadow and the height form a right angled triangle so we can apply the Pythagoras theorem here:-
11^2 = h^2 + 8^2 where h = height of the kite
h^2 = 11^2 - 8^2
h^2 = 57
h = 7.55 ft to the nearest foot Answer
<span>If you know 2 sides and an included angle, the area formula is:
</span>
<span>Area = ½ • side 1 • sine (A) • side 2
</span>
<span>Area = ½ • 2 * sine (60) * sq root (2)
</span>
<span>Area =sine (60) * sq root (2)
</span>
<span>The sine of 60 degrees = sq root (3) / 2
</span>
Area = sq root (6) / 2
