Answer:
14 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways we can find the area. Probably the easiest is to cut the kite in half vertically and find the area of each triangle. The area of the kite will be double that.
The height of the kite is 7 units, and the width is 4 units. So each triangle will have a base of 7 and height of 2.
A = 1/2 bh
A = 1/2 (7) (2)
A = 7
The area of the kite is double that, so:
2A = 14

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations
</u>
It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them
- When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
- When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
- Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different
The first expression is

Let's arrange into format:

We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is

Now for the second expression

Let's arrange into format

It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been

If 2 plus 2 is four... then what the hell is this?
Answer:
So the unit price of the trail - mix is $4.80 per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam paid $3.60 for 3/4 pound of his favorite trail-mix.
What it means is that said paid for 3/4 = 0.75 of a pound for $3.60
So let's determine how much he could have paid for a complete pound
$3.60= 0.75 pound
X= 1 pound
$X*0.75 pound= $3.60*1 pound
$x= ($3.60*1 pound)/0.75 pound
$x=$3.60/0.75
$x= $4.80
So the unit price of the trail - mix is $4.80 per pound
