Answer:
Option C. 8 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Maria is making a stained glass window in the form of a kite.
Width of the window is 15 in.
She has stained glass to cover 60 in² of window.
We have to find the height of window.
As we know Area of the kite = \(\frac{1}{2}(diagonal 1)(diagonal 2)\)
Now by putting the values of kite and length diagonal 1 we can find the length of diagonal 2, which is height of the window.
\(60=\frac{1}{2}(15)(D_{2})\)
\(D_{2}= \frac{2(60)}{15}\)
\(D_{2}=\frac{120}{15}=8in.\)
Option C. 8 in. will be the height of the window.
