Answer:

10 5/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Tail= 1.5+2Kite

Kite+Tail=15.5

x+1.5+2x=15.5

3x=15.5-1.5

3x=14

x=14/3=4 2/3

Kite=4 2/3

Tail= 1.5+2(4 2/3)=10 5/6

Answer:

We know that the kite with the tail is 15 feet and 6 inches. While 6 inches is 0,50 foot, it's 15,5 feet. If the lenght of the kite is x, then:

15,5 = x + 1,5 + 2x

15,5 = 3x + 1,5     / - 1,5 (both sides)

14 = 3x             / : 3 (both sides)

x ≈ 4,66

The kite is approx .4,66 feet long. It means that the tail is about 15,5 - 4,66 = 10,84 feet long.

(10v^4 + 30v^3 + 2v^2) / 10v
Zina [86]

Given expression is

\frac{10v^4+30v^3+2v^2}{10v}

Now we need to simplify this expression. We can begin by factoring numerator and denominator if possible.

= \frac{2v^2(5v^2+15v+1)}{10v}

divide numerator and denominator both by 2v

= \frac{v(5v^2+15v+1)}{5}

= \frac{5v^3+15v^2+1v}{5}

Hence final answer is \frac{5v^3+15v^2+1v}{5}

Or you can also keep factored form

\frac{v(5v^2+15v+1)}{5}

150 minutes per day = hours per week
RideAnS [48]
150 minutes / day for a week
= (150 minutes / day) * (7 days / week)
= 150 * 7 minutes / week
= 1050 minutes / week

(1050 minutes / week) * (1 hour / 60 minutes)
= (1050 / 60) hours / week
= (105 / 6) hours / week
= 17.5 hours / week

You could also convert to hours first. 150 minutes = 2.5 hours * 7 days = 17.5 hours per week.

A rectangle has sides of length 8 cm and 3 cm. Find the length of it's diagonals.
slava [35]
Using pythagoras a^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2 + 3^2 = c^2
64 + 9 = 73
The square root of 73 is 8.54
So the length of the diagonals are 8.54cm

In the following diagram \overline{DE} \parallel \overline{FG}
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

<x = 31°

Step-by-step explanation:

m<BCA = m<GCJ (vertical angles)

m<BCA = 59° (substitution)

Since line KL is perpendicular to line FG, the angle formed at point B is 90°.

Therefore, m<ABC = 90°

m<BAC + m<ABC + m<BCA = 180° (sum of triangle)

m<BAC + 90° + 59° = 180° (Substitution)

m<BAC + 149° = 180°

m<BAC = 180° - 149°

m<BAC = 31°

<x = <BAC (vertical angles)

m<x = 31° (substitution)
