I wrote the steps down, hopefully you understand them and the answer is on the lower right corner.
The answer is 37 because you range the two numbers they give you by the 90 degree angle
Answer:
10.8 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation forms a right triangle, where the length of the kite string is the hypotenuse, the distance from where it is held is the long leg, and the height is the short leg.
Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for c, the length of the kite string.
a² + b² = c²
6² + 9² = c²
36 + 81 = c²
117 = c²
10.8 = c
So, the length of the kite string is 10.8 meters
