1. Problem Description

A kite has one diagonal measuring 33 inches. The area of the kite is 69 square inches. We need to find the length of the other diagonal, rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch.

2. Solution Steps

The formula for the area of a kite is:
Area=12d1d2Area = \frac{1}{2} * d_1 * d_2
where d1d_1 and d2d_2 are the lengths of the diagonals.
We are given that the area of the kite is 69 in2in^2 and one diagonal, d1d_1, is 33 inches. Let the other diagonal be xx. So we have:
69=1233x69 = \frac{1}{2} * 33 * x
Now, we solve for xx:
69=16.5x69 = 16.5 * x
x=6916.5x = \frac{69}{16.5}
x=4.181818...x = 4.181818...
Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get:
x4.2x \approx 4.2

3. Final Answer

The length of the other diagonal is 4.2 in.
