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

What is the length of the missing base of the trapezoid?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = (base1 + base2)/2 · height

base1 = b

base2= 8

height = 3

Area = 21

21 = (b+8)/2 ·3

21 = 3(b+8)/2

multiply both sides by 2

42 = 3(b+8)

divide both sides by 3

14 = b+8

subtract 8 from both sides

b = 6 in
