The height of the kite will be 6.6 ft rounded to the nearest tenth.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

According to the below diagram, AB is the height of the kite and AC is the 12 ft line attached to it.

The line is pulled taut and casts a 10 ft shadow. That means BC = 10 ft

Now, in right angle triangle ABC, using <u>Pythagorean theorem</u>....

(AB)^2 +(BC)^2 = (AC)^2 \\ \\ (AB)^2 +(10)^2 = (12)^2 \\ \\ (AB)^2 +100 = 144\\ \\ (AB)^2 = 144-100 =44\\ \\ AB=\sqrt{44}= 6.6332....

So, the height of the kite will be 6.6 ft rounded to the nearest tenth.

The result of dividing (x3 + x2 – 22x – 40) by
IceJOKER [234]
Answer:

(x + 2) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Before looking at my explanation make sure next time you are going to ask another question write the numbers that include exponents like this: x^2 instead of x2

Factor out x^2:

x + x

Factor out 6x:

Since it is in the bx form we’ll need two numbers be add so it can be equivalent to 6x

Answer: 4 and 2

Factor out 8:

4 x 2

Now start with the 8 and 6x

(? + 4) + (? + 2)

Then finish it off with x

(x + 4) (x + 2)

A car braked with a constant deceleration of 64 ft/s2, producing skid marks measuring 50 ft before coming to a stop. How fast wa
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The initial speed of the car was 80 ft/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The deceleration is the rate at which the car speed decreases. In this case the speed of the car goes all the way down to 0 ft/s and in order to do that it travelled 50 ft.  So we will call the initial speed at which the car started to brake "v_0" and use Torricelli's equation to find it. The equation is given by:

v^2 = (v_0)^2 + 2*a*S

Where v is the final speed, v_0 is the initial speed, a is the rate of acceleration and S is the space travelled. Using the values that the problem gave to us we have:

0^2 = (v_0)^2 - 2*64*50

0 = (v_0)^2 - 6400

(v_0)^2 = 6400

v_0 = sqrt(6400) = 80 ft/s

Notice that in this case "a" was negative, since the car was decelerating instead of accelerating.

The initial speed of the car was 80 ft/s.

Find the sum: 4 radical 3 + 11 radical 12
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

26\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find 4\sqrt{3} +11\sqrt{12}. 11\sqrt{12} can be written as 11\sqrt{4*3}=11*\sqrt{4} *\sqrt{3}=11*2*\sqrt{3}=22\sqrt{3}, so we can now write our original equation as: 4\sqrt{3}+22\sqrt{3}.

We can combine like terms: 4\sqrt{3}+22\sqrt{3}=26\sqrt{3}

Hope this helps!
