Answer: 1,552
Explanation: you want to set up a proportion

Ex:

97 X
—- x —
30. 480

The way I got 480 was I converted 8 hours into minutes because you want the same value of measurement.

After this, just cross multiply and you get the equation

46560 = 30mile

Then just isolate the miles (because you are trying to solve for 1 mile

Miles = 1,552

30 minutes is half of an hour so first you need to multiple 8•2 then you multiple 97 by what 8•2 is (16) that gets you 1552

Consider kite WXYZ. What are the values of a and b? a = 4; b = 10. a = 4; b = 40, a = 8; b = 10, a = 8; b = 40

Check the picture below.

let's recall that a kite is a quadrilateral, and thus is a polygon with 4 sides

sum of all interior angles in a polygon

180(n - 2) n = number of sides

so for a quadrilateral that'd be 180( 4 - 2 ) = 360, thus

$\bf 3b+70+50+3b=360\implies 6b+120=360\implies 6b=240 \\\\\\ b=\cfrac{240}{6}\implies b=40 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \overline{XY}=\overline{YZ}\implies 3a-5=a+11\implies 2a-5=11 \\\\\\ 2a=16\implies a=\cfrac{16}{2}\implies a=8$
