Write your height in inches. Suppose it increases by 15%, what would your new height be? Now suppose your increased height decreases by 15% after the 15% increase; what is your new height?

New height= 41.4 inches

Second new height= 36inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Height is assumed to be 36 inches

If it increases by 15%.

15%= 0.15

It's new height =( 36*0.15) +36

New height= 5.4+36

New height = 41.4 inches

This expression (36*0.15) is the expression of adding 15% to the height.

So if the 15% is taken away again , height= 41.4-(36*0.15)

Height= 41.4-5.4

Height= 36 inches

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
