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.

The area of a cross section through the center of a sphere is 46 square inches. Find the surface area of the sphere.
gavmur [86]

Answer:

184 in.^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross section through the center of a sphere is a circle whose radius is equal to the radius of the sphere.

area of circle

A_{circle} = \pi r^2

\pi r^2 = 46

r^2 = \dfrac{46}{\pi}

r = \sqrt{\dfrac{46}{\pi}}

r = 3.83 ~in.

surface area of sphere

SA = 4 \pi r^2

SA = 4 \times \pi \times (3.83)^2

SA = 184~in.^2

Please help me?? Solve for x
Delvig [45]
X= 10

This is because 180-95= 85 which would make 8x+5= 85

Subtract 5 from both sides and get 8x=80

Then, divide 8 from both sides and get x=10
