A team is practicing on a 1/2 acre field. The coach divides the field into two equal parts for practice. What fraction of an acre is each part? A. 1/2-acre

B. 1/4-acre

C. 1 acre

D. 2 acres

dude thats to long figure it

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

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.
