The length of the kite string is 50 ft

<h3>How to determine the length of the kite string?</h3>

The string and the kite form a right triangle.

So, the length can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem as follows:

c^2 = 30^2 + 40^2

This gives

c^2 = 2500

Take the square roots

c = 50

Hence, the length of the kite string is 50 ft

Adiya said that the first step to solving the quadratic equation x2 + 6 = 20x by completing the square was to divide 6 by 2, squ

vivado [14]

Adiya’s method is not correct. To form a perfect square trinomial, the constant must be isolated on one side of the equation. Also, the coefficient of the term with an exponent of 1 on the variable is used to find the constant in the perfect square trinomial. Adiya should first get the 20x term on the same side of the equation as x2. Then she would divide 20 by 2, square it, and add 100 to both sides.

Of 6.5 hectoliters of fuel, the private spilled 350 milliliters. how many liters did the private spill?

sergiy2304 [10]

The private spilled 0.35 litres of fuel

<h3>How to calculate the amount of litres spilled ? </h3>

The first step is to convert 6.5 hectolitres to litres

= 6.5 × 100

= 650 litres

Next is to convert millilitres to litres

= 350/1000

= 0.35 litres

Hence the number of litres spilled is 0.35 litres
