A greeting card uses a geometric design containing 4 congruent kites. The card is 4 inches wide and 8 inches long. What is the a

Gnom [1K]

Answer: 4 sq. in

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the card is 8 inches long. Therefore, the length of the vertical diagonal of 1 kite + the length of the vertical diagonal of other kite = 8

Since we have been told that the kites are congruent, therefore the length of the vertical diagonal of both kites will be thesame

Therefore, 2(length of the vertical diagonal of 1 kite) = 8

Therefore, the length of the vertical diagonal of 1 kite will be= 4 inches

The width of the card = 4 inches

Therefore, the length of the horizontal diagonal of 1 kite + the length of the horizontal diagonal of another kite =4

Since the kites are congruent, therefore, the length of the horizontal diagonal of both kites are the same

Therefore, 2(length of the horizontal diagonal of 1 kite) = 4

Therefore, the length of the horizontal diagonal of 1 kite will be= 2 inches

Therefore, the length of the vertical diagonal of the kite= 4 inches and the horizontal diagonal= 2 inches

So, Area of kite = pq/2

Where p and q are diagonals of kite

Area of kite = (4×2)/2

=8/2

= 4 inches square

You want to place a towel bar that is 10 1⁄4 inches long in the center of a door that is 26 1⁄3 inches wide. How far should you

attashe74 [19]

The bar should be 8 1/24 from the each edge of the door.

We need to subtract 10 1/4 from 26 1/3 to get the fraction of the space not covered by the towel bar.
We also need to divide the difference by 2 because we placed the towel bar in the center of the door.

1st we need to convert the mixed fractions into fractions to perform subtraction.
26 1/3 = ((26*3)+1)/3 = 79/3
10 1/4 = ((10*4)+1)/4 = 41/4

Steps in Subtracting Fractions
Step 1. Make sure the denominator is the same. 3 and 4 are the denominators, they are not the same but they are factor of 12. So,
79/3 must be multiplied by 4 = 79 * 4 / 3 * 4 = 316 / 12
41/4 must be multiplied by 3 = 41 * 3 / 4 * 3 = 123 / 12

Step 2. Subtract the numerators and place them above the common denominator
316/12 - 123/12 = 316 - 123 / 12 = 193 / 12

Before we can simplify the fraction, we must divide it by two to get the measurement of each edge of the door.

Steps in dividing fractions.
Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
1st fraction : 193 / 12
2nd fraction : 2 /1 ⇒ reciprocal 1/2

Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
193 / 12 * 1/2 = 193 * 1 / 12 * 2 = 193 / 24

Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
193 / 24 = 8 1/24

Answer using set notation if possible.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Domain:

[-5,-2) U (-2,3.5) U (3.5,5]

Range:

[-3 0) U (0,5]

It is not a function because x = 1 has two different outputs (3 & 5)

What is 3/4 = w + 2/5

shusha [124]

Convert all fractions to have the same denominator.

To convert, we must find the least common multiple of the two denominators of the fractions:

Multiples of 4: {4,8,12,16,20}
Multiples of 5: {5,10,15,20}

The least common multiple of 4 and 5 is 20.

Multiply the fractions by a number that will result in the denominator being 20:

$\frac{3}{4} * \frac{5}{5} = \frac{15}{20}$

$\frac{2}{5} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{8}{20}$

The equation should now look like this:

$\frac{15}{20} = w + \frac{8}{20}$

Subtract both sides by 8/20 to get w by itself:

$\frac{15}{20} - \frac{8}{20} = \frac{7}{20}$

$w = \frac{7}{20}$

The value of w is 7/20.
