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~

Well there are no statements but the zero power law works like this :
ANYTHING raised to the zero power is 1

An article retails for 27.50. The city sales tax is 6%, and the federal excise tax is 8%. How much does the article cost altoget
-Dominant- [34]
Cost of the article = $27.50
Amount of city sales tax = (27.50 x 6%) = $1.65
Amount of excise tax = (27.50 x 8%) = $2.20
From my knowledge, we pay city sales tax and federal excise tax when we buy something, so the total cost would be $31.35

Find the length of the hypotenuse ​
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

10 m

Perimeter = 24 m

Step-by-step explanation:

( Hypotenuse )² = 6² + 8²

                          = 36 + 64

                          = 100

                          = 10 x 10

( Hypotenuse )² = 10²

Hypotenuse = 10 m

Perimeter is the sum of all sides in a triangle.

Perimeter = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 m
