Find the area of the kite.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alchen [17]2 years ago

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do this is to use the formula  A=\frac{1}{2}d_1 d_2  where d_1 and d_2 are the lengths of the two diagonals.

In the figure, d_1=12  and  d_2=12  (2 + 10 and 6 + 6).

The area is \frac{1}{2}(12)(12)=\frac{1}{2}144=72 square units.

Another way that doesn't depend on learning a formula is to remember that the diagonals of a kite are perpendicular, so the 4 small triangles are right triangles.  Two of the smaller triangles have base =2 and height = 6, so their areas are 1/2(2)(6) = 6.  Double that--there are 2 congruent small triangles--to get an area of 12.

There are two larger right triangles with base =10 and height = 6, so their area are 1/2(10)(6)=30.  There are two of those, so their combined area is 60.

Finally, put the small triangle area and the large triangle area together to get a total of 12 + 60 = 72

Please help me with this Geometry question
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Given that JN was bisected, JL ≅ LN

Given that KM was bisected, KL ≅ ML

∠JLK ≅ ∠MLN because of vertical angles.

∠JLK is contained by JL and KL.

∠MLN is contained by ML and LN.

Therefore ΔJKL ≅ ΔNML by the SAS postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The SAS postulate states that when you know two triangles have an equal angle, and that angle is formed by two sides that are equal in both triangles, the two triangles are congruent.

When a line is bisected, it means it was cut in two equal parts.

Since two lines were bisected and each form a side in the triangles, two sides are congruent.

The contained angles, ∠JLK and ∠MLN, are equal because of vertical angles. Vertical angles occur when two straight lines intersect. Angles that are opposite to each other are equal in all cases.

(4,2);slope=3<br><br>help me out
ivolga24 [154]
We have a point and a slope, so let's use the point slope formula!

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)
where
x1=4
y1=2
and m=3

(y - 2) = 3(x - 4) \\ y - 2 = 3x - 12 \\ y = 3x - 10

3.05 is greater than or less than 3.024
asambeis [7]

Answer:

3.024 is greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

3.05 is greater because it expanded is 3.050 vs. 3.024. 3.024 is closer to 1, so it's greater.
