Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression : -600 - (-50) as explorer climbs back to the surface :

In terms of elevation :

-600 represents the initial position below the surface.

The Change in elevation from his initial position is - 50 (though the climber is moving towards the surface) ; the negative sign depicts that he is still below the surface.

Hence,

-600 - (-50)

= - 600 + 50

= - 610

Hence, the explorer moved an elevation of - 50 in the upward direction from his initial position of - 600 ; Hence, his position is - 610 ; which is still beneath the surface

in the given kite SZ= 10yards , WZ = 10 yards TZ=12 yards , and RZ=32 yards Determine the area of the kite
Fynjy0 [20]

If we assume the given segments are those from the vertices to the point of intersection of the diagonals, it seems one diagonal (SW) is 20 yards long and the other (TR) is 44 yards long. The area (A) of the kite is half the product of the diagonals:

... A = (1/2)·SW·TR = (1/2)·(20 yd)·(44 yd)

... A = 440 yd²

Answer:

The scale factor is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the vertical sides of the 2 triangles.

Their length is 3 and 6 so the scale factor is 6/3 = 2.

Also we see than the horizontal lines are in the same ratio 4 : 2  = 2:1.
