Define your two QUESTIONS
Write your system of EQUATIONS
SOLVE the system of equations.
Find the SOLUTION to the question being asked.
From the information given you have:
1) Smaller diagonal of the kite: 16 inches
2) Larger diagonal of the kite: height of one triangle (h1) + height of the other triangle (h2)
3) Calculation of the height of the smaller triangle, h1:
10^2 = (16/2)^2 + (h1)^2 => h1 = √ [10^2 - 8^2] = 6
4) Calculation of the height of the larger triangle, h2
17^2 = (16/2)^2 + (h2)^2 => h2 = √[17^2 - 8^2] = 15
5) Larger diagonal = h1 + h2 = 6 + 15 = 21
Answer: 21 inches
Answer:
x=-5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4 x^2 +20 x +25 = 0
x^2+5x=-25/4
(b/2)^2=(5/2)^2
x^2+5x+25/4=0
(x+5/2)^2=0
x=-5/2
(Hope this helps)
