WHAT IS ad TO THE NEAREST 10 ON A KITE WHEN THE KITE IS22,7, AND 12
To find the value of "ad" to the nearest 10 on a kite with side lengths 22, 7, and 12, we first need to identify which side represents the "ad" length.
In a kite, the diagonals intersect at a right angle, dividing the kite into four triangles. Let's consider the longer diagonal, which we'll label as "ac," and the shorter diagonal, labeled "bd."
To determine which side represents "ad," we need to find the length of "ac" and "bd." Let's calculate them:
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we find that:
ac = √(22^2 - 12^2) = √(484 - 144) = √340 ≈ 18.44
bd = √(22^2 - 7^2) = √(484 - 49) = √435 ≈ 20.87
Now let's compare these lengths to figure out which represents "ad":
Since "bd" is longer than "ac," it means that "ad" is the length of "ac." Therefore, in this case, "ad" is approximately 18.44.
Now, to round "ad" to the nearest 10, we need to determine which multiple of 10 it is closest to.
The multiple of 10 closest to 18.44 is 20. Hence, the value of "ad" to the nearest 10 on this kite is 20.
