The height of the kite is approximately 112.763 meters above the ground.

<h3>How to determine the height of a kite above the ground</h3>

The situation is represented by the following geometric diagram, a right triangle with a known hypotenuse (r), in meters, and a known acute angle (θ), in degrees. The height of the kite (h), in meters, is represented by the leg opposite to the acute angle and can be found by trigonometric functions:

sin θ = h / r

h = r · sin θ

h = 120 · sin 70°

h ≈ 112.763 m

The height of the kite is approximately 112.763 meters.

What are three equivalent ratios to 2/20??

DiKsa [7]

2/20 = 1/10 = 3/30 = 4/40

so 3 equivalent ratios can be 1/10 (or 1:10), 3/30 (or 3:30), 4/40 (or 4:40)

Answer: -12 but could be wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know that format but I'm going to take a guess.

x^2 +2x - 8 -(2x+8) then plug in x=2

x^2 + 2x - 8 - 2x - 8

x^2 -16

= 2^2 - 16 = -12

Plzzzzzz help meeeee

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For A, 7x=21, it is asking, 7 multiplied by what number is 21? We can try to figure it out. Let's start with 0.

7(0)≠21

Then 1.

7(1)≠21

7(2)≠21

7(3)=21

Therefore, for question a, the answer is 3.

For question b, it's asking 6 minus what is 2.

With this one, we can say it is 4, since 6-4=2.

Now moving on to B.

a) 2x+4=16

We need to isolate x in order to find it's value.

So we can begin with subtracting 4 from both sides, getting us:

2x=12

Then, if we divide both terms by 2, we get x.

x=12/2

x=6.

3 x (z/4)=9

Again, we need to isolate z.

So, we multiply both sides by 4, getting us

3z=36

then we divide by 3

z=36/3

z=12

c) 16-x=2

Here we simply subtract 16 from each side, then flip the signs to get positive x.

So, 16-x=2

-x=-14

x=14

d) 4k=20

This is essentially asking, 4 times what number is 20?

So we can divide both sides by 4 and get

k=20/4

k=5

Answer:

$\frac{3}{28}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability (P) is calculated as

P = $\frac{requiredoutcome}{count}$

The first required outcome is a red sweet from a total of 3 + 5 = 8

P( red) = $\frac{3}{8}$

There are now 2 red left and a count of 7, since 1 has been eaten, thus

P( second red ) = $\frac{2}{7}$

P( red and red ) = $\frac{3}{8}$ × $\frac{2}{7}$ = $\frac{6}{56}$ = $\frac{3}{28}$
