To determine the area of the non-shaded wings of a dragonfly kite and how much shiny nylon is needed to cover them, we would typically follow these steps:
-
Decompose the figure: Break the wing shape into simple geometric shapes (like rectangles, triangles, and circles).
-
Calculate the area of each shape: Use appropriate formulas for the areas (e.g., area of a rectangle = length × width, area of a triangle = (base × height) / 2, area of a circle = π × radius², etc.).
-
Sum the areas of the shapes: Add the areas of all the simple shapes together to get the total area of the wings.
-
Subtract the shaded area: If there are shaded areas, subtract their area from the total area of the wings to find the non-shaded area.
Since I don’t have the exact dimensions or the layout of the wings provided in your context, I can't perform the specific calculations. However, you've provided responses that suggest the possible area of the non-shaded part.
To find the correct choice, you would typically execute the calculation outlined above.
If you already calculated the areas correctly and arrived at an output, you would select the corresponding answer from the options you've listed, which are:
- 1.19 square meters
- 1.99 square meters
- 2.38 square meters
- 3.98 square meters
Please check your calculations against these figures. Based on typical dimensions and a common representation of dragonfly wings, 2.38 square meters is a plausible choice, but the exact answer will depend on the specifics of your calculations.
