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

RideAnS [48]

Question:

Use the expression to complete the statements.

(0.5)^{10\\

________ is the  power .

(0.5) is the  ________

A ______ is another way to write

Answer:

0.5 is the base

10 is the power

(0.5)^{10\\ = (\frac{1}{2})^{10} -- another way to write

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(0.5)^{10\\

Required

Fill ion the gaps

(0.5)^{10\\ is pronounced as; 0.5 raise to the power of 10

From the above statement, we can deduce the following:

0.5 is the base

10 is the power

Lastly, another way to write (0.5)^{10\\

Express 0.5 as a fraction

(\frac{5}{10})^{10}

Simplify the fraction

(\frac{5/5}{10/5})^{10}

(\frac{1}{2})^{10}

Hence:

(0.5)^{10\\ = (\frac{1}{2})^{10}

The value of a $25,000 car depreciates at a rate of 12% per year. What will the car be worth in 5 years?
Scorpion4ik [409]

The formula for depreciation is:

Value = Starting value x (1 - rate)^time

Using the given values:

Value = 25,000 x (1-0.12)^5

Value = 25,000 x 0.88^5

Value = $13,193.30 (Round the answer as needed)
