The tail of a kite is 1.5 feet plus twice the length of the kite. Together, the kite and tail are 15.5 ft long. Find the length of the tail.
What is the length of the tail? Show your work.

Answer:

We know that the kite with the tail is 15 feet and 6 inches. While 6 inches is 0,50 foot, it's 15,5 feet. If the lenght of the kite is x, then:

15,5 = x + 1,5 + 2x

15,5 = 3x + 1,5     / - 1,5 (both sides)

14 = 3x             / : 3 (both sides)

x ≈ 4,66

The kite is approx .4,66 feet long. It means that the tail is about 15,5 - 4,66 = 10,84 feet long.

Answer:

10 5/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Tail= 1.5+2Kite

Kite+Tail=15.5

x+1.5+2x=15.5

3x=15.5-1.5

3x=14

x=14/3=4 2/3

Kite=4 2/3

Tail= 1.5+2(4 2/3)=10 5/6

The figure shows three quadrilaterals on a coordinate grid:

A coordinate grid is shown from positive 8 to negative 8 on the x axis and from positive 8 to negative 8 on the y axis. An image of a rectangle labeled E is shown on ordered pair negative 1, negative 1 and negative 3, negative 1 and negative 3, negative 2 and negative 1, negative 2. Another image of a rectangle labeled G is shown on ordered pair negative 2, negative 2 and negative 6, negative 2 and negative 6, negative 4 and negative 2, negative 4. Another image of a rectangle labeled F is shown on ordered pair negative 1, 1 and negative 1, 2, and negative 3, 2 and negative 3, 1.
