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

Svetach [21]
Equations:

100 + 35m
50 + 35m

Steps:
100 + 35m = 50 + 35m <span>

<em>Set the equations equal to each other.</em>
</span>   <span />
<span>
100 + 35m = 50 + 35m <span>
-50              - 50
</span>
<em>Subtract 50 from both sides of equation to isolate the variable on one side</em>.

50+35m=35m
     -35m  -35m

<em>Subtract 35m from both sides of equation.</em>

50=m

In fifty months, they will have the same amount of money. They will each contain $1850 dollars.

Hope this helps.
