Remark
A kite is constructed such that AB = BC and AD = DC. AB = sqrt( (1/2)AC + 18^2) see diagram. AD = sqrt(24^2 + 32^2)
Step One
Solve for AB
1/2 AC = 24 (AC is given as 48)
18 is a given length
AB = sqrt(24^2 + 18^2) = sqrt(576 + 324) = sqrt(900) = 30
Step Two
Find the length of AD
AD = sqrt(32^2 + 24^2) = sqrt(1024 + 576) = sqrt(1600) = 40
Step Three
Find the Perimeter.
P = 2 * 30 + 2*40 = 60 + 80 = 140
P = 140 <<<<< Answer
To represent the number of cans in each shelf you will divide the total number of cans by the number of shelves.
This is represented as
t/4 = n.
A)24 boards/1 * 47.5 inch/boards * 1 ft/12in = 95 ft.
according to dimensional analysis the answer is 95 ft.
b) 95/8 is approximately 12 so 12 boards are needed.
