Answer

14.4 ft~

Step-by-step explanation

A kite is flying 12 feet off the ground, therefore the height is 12 (assuming the line is tied to the ground if a person is holding the line then the height would be less)

Assuming the sun is positioned in such a way that the shadow represents a horizontal distance. Horizontal distance of shadow = 8

Use Pythagoras Theorem

Where a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + 12^2 = 208

Square root 208 = 14.4~

Assume that y varies inversely
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x setup is:

y = k/x

7 = \frac{k}{2/3}  (find 'k')

k = 7/1 · 2/3

k = 14/3

use what you know about 'k' and 'x' to solve for 'y'

y = 14/3 ÷ 7/3  (remember to multiply by the reciprocal when dividing fractions)

y = 14/3 · 3/7

y = 2
