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.

What value should be added to the expression to create a perfect square?
Shalnov [3]
Let's take a look at a perfect square trinomial.

(x+7)^2

We can distribute this expression to get x^2+14x+49.

An important relation to recognize here is that the constant is the square of half of the x value.

Now, if we wanted to add a number to x^2+16x to make a perfect square trinomial, we could have the value of x and then square it.

Half of 16 is 8, and 8 squared is \boxed{64}

Given g(x) -x + 4, solve for a when g(x) = 8.​
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) - × + 4 =0

put g(x) = 8

so, 8 - x + 4 = 0

x = 12
