More Help With Kites:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The assignment is attached

OpenStudy (nikato):

What do u know about how the two diagonals of a kite intersect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are perpendicular and create 4 90 degree triangles

OpenStudy (nikato):

Yes, so u can set up the following equation 7x-1=90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 7x=91 x=13

OpenStudy (nikato):

Correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha thanks, could you help me witth number 8 also?

OpenStudy (nikato):

Sure

OpenStudy (nikato):

Ok, becuz u know TCU is a right angle, u can apply the Pythagorean theorem. Do u know what it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a(squared)+b(squared)=C(squared)

OpenStudy (nikato):

Yea, now just plug în the 2 given lengths

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So\[10^{2}+6^{2}=136\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the square root of 136 is 11.66

OpenStudy (nikato):

No, the a and b are the legs and c is suppose to be the hypothnuse

OpenStudy (nikato):

So a^2 + 6^2= 10^2

OpenStudy (nikato):

U can always change a and b around but c will always b the side opposite of the right angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So a would be 8?

OpenStudy (nikato):

Yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!
