Answer:

100 ft high

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Erin, the kite, and her friend create a right triangle since the friend is standing directly under the kite and in front of Erin.  

Thus, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the kite.

We can let the side the distance be at represents Erin and the kite's distance be EK (aka the hypotenuse), the side that represents Erin and her friend's distance be EF and the side that represents the kite and the friend's distance be KF.

The theorem says that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the two shortest sides and c is the hypotenuse.

We already have the measure of the hypotenuse (260 ft) and one of the shorter sides (240), so we have:

KF^2+240^2=260^2\\KF^2+57600=67600\\KF^2=10000\\\sqrt{(KF^2=10000)} \\KF=100

What is the average rate of change of the function over the interval x = 0 to x = 8?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

if f(x) = 3x+4, the rate of change is 4.

if f(x) = 2x+7, the rate of change is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the average rate of change over the interval x=0 to x=8 is:

(f(x2) - f(x1))/x2-x1

Where:

x2 = 8

x1 = 0

if f(x) = 3x+4

so f(8)=3(8)+4 = 28

f(0)=3(0)+4 = 4

Then: (f(x2) - f(x1))/x2-x1 = (28 - 4)/8-0 = 24/8 = 3

On the other hand, if f(x) = 2x+7

f(8) = 2(8)+7 = 23

f(0) = 2(0)+7 = 7

Then: (f(x2) - f(x1))/x2-x1 = Then: 23 - 7/8-0 = 16/8 = 2

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -1)(0,−1) and (6, 1)(6,1)?
horrorfan [7]

slope = y2 - y1 \div x2 - x1

1 -  - 1 \div 6 - 0

2 \div 6

1 \div 3

y = mx + c

1 = 1 \div 3 \times 6 + c

1 = 2 + c

c = 3

y = 1 \div 3x + 3

Veata wants to know what percent of students at her school are left-hand dominant. Veata recalls that when students were randoml
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Randomly assigned group. the art class isn't random and only consists of a select type of people--it is not a representative sample; maybe more left handed people enjoy art than do right handed people! therefore, even though the randomly assigned group is smaller, it is the better estimate.
