The distance of Erika from kite directly is 35.71 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the given situation as a right triangle with string as hypotenuse and the distance between both girls as base

So,

$h = 50\ yards\\b = 35\ yards$

As the triangle is a right triangle, we can use pythagoras theorem to solve this problem.

$h^2 = b^2 + p^2\\p^2 = h^2 - b^2\\p^2 = (50)^2 - (35)^2\\p^2 = 2500-1225\\p^2 = 1275\\\sqrt{p^2} = \sqrt{1275}\\p = 35.707\ yards$

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

=> 35.71 yards

Hence,

The distance of Erika from kite directly is 35.71 yards

How to make 2700 and 600 a fraction

devlian [24]

I think I may be missing something ... I don't completely understand your question.
All you need to make a fraction is two numbers and a bar. The bar can be either
horizontal or slanty. Then you write one number on top and the other number on
the bottom, and bada-bing, you have a fraction.

You can make fractions like

   2700 / 600
   27 / 6
   9 / 2    (all 3 of these have the same value)

   600 / 2700
   6 / 27
   2 / 9 (all 3 of these have the same value)
