1. Problem Description

The problem states that a kite has a diagonal of length 33 inches. The area of the kite is 9 square inches. We are asked to find the length of the other diagonal, xx.

2. Solution Steps

The area of a kite is given by the formula:
Area=12×d1×d2Area = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2,
where d1d_1 and d2d_2 are the lengths of the diagonals.
In this problem, we are given that Area=9Area = 9 and d1=33d_1 = 33. We need to find d2d_2, which is represented by xx.
Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:
9=12×33×x9 = \frac{1}{2} \times 33 \times x
9=332x9 = \frac{33}{2} x
To solve for xx, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 233\frac{2}{33}:
x=9×233x = 9 \times \frac{2}{33}
x=1833x = \frac{18}{33}
We can simplify this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 3:
x=611x = \frac{6}{11}
Now we need to round the answer to the nearest whole number.
x=6110.54545x = \frac{6}{11} \approx 0.54545
Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives us

1. However, the question asks to round the answer to the nearest tenth.

x0.5x \approx 0.5

3. Final Answer

0. 5
