The height of the kite is 4.89 feet
Explanation
The length of the line attached to the kite=7 feet
The length of the shadow that is cast on the ground=5 feet
the system forms a right angled triangle where the taught string of the kite is the hypotenuse, the shadow is the base and the height of the kite above the ground is the height.
H=7 feet
b=5 feet
using pythagoras theorem
The kite is 4.89 feet above the ground
The answer is that she had 48. Set it up as an equation with x as the amount of money she started with. x - 30 = 3/8x. That says, in words, "the amount of money she started with minus 30 for the dress left her with 3/8 of the money she started with. Solve for x by adding 30 to both sides and subtracting 3/8 from 8/8x (8/8 = 1). 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8, so 5/8x = 30, multiply both sides by 8 to get 5x=240 and x = 48.
answer for this question is 2 is to 4 is to6 is to 7
The formula of an area of a rectangle:
A = wl
We have l = w - 4 and A = 21.
Substitute:
w(w - 4) = 21 <em>use distributive property</em>
(w)(w) + (w)(-4) = 21
w² - 4w = 21 <em>subtract 21 from both sides</em>
w² - 4w - 21 = 0
w² - 7w + 3w - 21 = 0
w(w - 7) + 3(w - 7) = 0
(w - 7)(w + 3) = 0 ↔ w - 7 = 0 ∨ w + 3 = 0
w = 7 ∨ w = -3 < 0
l = w - 4 → l = 7 - 4 = 3
<h3>Answer: the length = 3 u.</h3>
