The distance between the ground and the kite to the nearest foot is 64 ft.

<h3>What is a right angle triangle?</h3>

A right angle triangle is a triangle that has one of its sides as 90 degrees. The situation forms a right angle triangle.

Hence,

The length of the kite string is the hypotenuse side of the triangle formed.

The height between the ground and the kite is the opposite side of the triangle formed.

Therefore, using trigonometric ratio,

sin 40 = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 40 = h / 100

cross multiply

h = 100 sin 40

h = 100 × 0.64278760968

h = 64.2787609687

h = 64 ft

Therefore, the distance between the ground and the kite to the nearest foot is 64 ft.

A polynomlal has been factored, as SHOWI Deluw.
Tom [10]

Answer:

The zeros are 6,-5,9

Step-by-step explanation:

The factored form of the polynomial is given as:

f(x) = (x - 6)(x + 5)(x - 9)

To find the zeros of this function, we set f(x)=0 and solve for x.

(x - 6)(x + 5)(x - 9) = 0

This implies that:

(x - 6) = 0 \: or \: (x + 5) = 0 \: or \: (x - 9) = 0

We solve for x to get:

x  = 6 \: or \: x  =  -  5  \: or \: x =  9

The zeros are 6,-5,9
