Answer:

The kite is 35.71 m high from Emily.

Step-by-step explanation:

Supposing that the kite's string is a <em>straight line</em>, Anna, Emily and the kite form a right triangle (see the figure below).

A right triangle follows the <em>Pythagoras' theorem</em> (or <em>Pythagorean theorem</em>):

\\ a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}, where c is the <em>hypotenuse </em>and <em>a</em> and <em>b, the other two sides</em> (<em>catheti</em>).

Since the opposite side to the <em>right angle </em>(90°) is the hypotenuse, in this case, c = 50 m, and we know that d = 35 m (the distance from Anna to Emily, or vice versa), we can rewrite the equation for this problem as follows (<u>see figure below</u>):

\\ d^{2} + h^{2} = (50m)^{2}, or

\\ (35m)^{2} + h^{2} = (50m)^{2}

Likewise, the height <em>h </em>is the <em>unknown value</em> or the height of the kite from Emily (or one leg of the right triangle).

\\ h^{2} = (50m)^{2} - (35m)^{2}.

\\ h = \sqrt{(50m)^{2} - (35m)^{2}}, which is approximately:

\\ h = 35.70714m or \\ h = 35.71m.

That is, the kite is approximately 35.71 m high above Emily.

If you draw a picture you can see that the kite, Anna and Emily form a right triangle.

so you can use the pythagorean theorem to find the answer. 

35 ^{2} +  b^{2} = 50^{2}

1,225 + b^{2} = 2,500

b^{2} = 1,275

b = 35.7 meters

Exclain why 0.32 with a line above it is greater than 0.32
ella [17]
"0.32 with a line above it" could refer to two possible numbers, either 0.\overline{32}=0.323232\ldots or 0.3\overline2=0.3222\ldots.

In either case, 0.32 will be the smaller of the two numbers simply because it terminates with two digits after the decimal point, while the others keep going, basically adding a small positive number to 0.32.

How do you get domain and range
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Another way to identify the domain and range of functions is by using graphs. Because the domain refers to the set of possible input values, the domain of a graph consists of all the input values shown on the x-axis. The range is the set of possible output values, which are shown on the y-axis.

14. Given: 5x + 4y = 24, x + 7y= 11; Prove: y= 1<br> Statements<br> reasons
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the process of elimination as

5x + 4y = 24

5(x + 7y = 11) —>          5x + 35y = 55

5x + 4y = 24

-(5x + 35y = 55)

—————————

-31y = -31

-31y/-31 = -31/-31

y=1
