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.

The equation for the circle below is the x2 + y2=81. what is the length of the circles radius
larisa [96]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare your x2 + y2=81 to the following:

                       x^2 + y^2 = 81

The " ^ " symbol indicates exponentiation.

Now compare  x^2 + y^2 = 81 to

                         x^2 + y^2 = r^2.  

This is the standard equation of a circle of radius r centered at the origin, (0,0).  You can see for yourself that 81 must equal r^2.


Taking the square root of 81, we get plus or minus 9.

But the radius must be positive, so we reject the -9 and take +9.

The radius is 9.
