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

In the figure to the right, ABCD is a rectangle. Find the area of △ABC, if the area of △AOD is 10.
ehidna [41]
Assuming BOD and AOC are straight lines.

Area of the rectangle = 4 x ΔAOD
Area of the rectangle = 4 x 10
Area of the rectangle = 40 unit²

Area of ΔABC = 1/2 x 40 
Area of ΔABC = 20 unit²
