The height of the kite is 4.89 feet
Explanation
The length of the line attached to the kite=7 feet
The length of the shadow that is cast on the ground=5 feet
the system forms a right angled triangle where the taught string of the kite is the hypotenuse, the shadow is the base and the height of the kite above the ground is the height.
H=7 feet
b=5 feet
using pythagoras theorem

The kite is 4.89 feet above the ground
I have no idea. Quick question for you though since we are working on similar stuff. How do I write this equation in graphing form: y=2x^2-12x+19
Simple...
you have:
1.) Find the slope of the line using (-2,1) and (3,6)
Using


m=1 (slope)
2.)Tell whether the equation, 8y+3=5x+3, is a direct variation.
y=

(None)
3.)What is the slope and y-intercept of the graph of the equation y=2x+3?
Slope =2
y-intercept=3
C.
Thus, your answer.
The wood is 10 inches and you're cutting it into 1/2 pieces, so divide 10 by 1/2, which is 20, The carpenter can cut 20 dowels.
