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.

B)When ABCD is drawn to scale, would
never [62]

Hi there there's several ways this could be proven one way us to consider the allied angle theory where two angles formed between parallel lines are supplementary which in this case can be proven by

2(45)+90=180⁰ ✔

or 3(45)+45=180⁰✔

this would not be the case if it wasn't parallel

Consequently, you can also use the alternate angle theory where you essentially extend one of the lines and you'll see two equal alternate angles

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:  A pull a vowel

Step-by-step explanation: its unlikely he will pull a consonant since a consonate is when your lips touch together (like "p" "m" "b") pulling an E or P is low, but a vowel covers A,E,I,O, and U so it covers four letters, so your best bet is A.
