Answer:

4.4 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Height = 15ft

Rate= 5 ft/s

Distance from the man to the kite= 32ft

dh/dt = 5 ft/s

h = √32^2 - 15^2

h = √ 1025 - 225

h = √800

h = 28.28ft

D = √15^2 + h^2

dD/dt = 1/2(15^2 + h^2)^-1/2 (2h) dh/dt

= h(225 + h^2)^-1/2 dh/dt

= (h / √225 + h^2)5

= (28.28 / √225 + 28.28^2)5

= (28.28 / √1024.7584)5

= (28.28/32)5

= 0.88*5

= 4.4 ft/s

One angle is 25° bigger than another angle. the two angles are supplementary. what is the measure of the two angles
Rama09 [41]
1st angle  - x⁰
2nd angle - (x+25)⁰
The angles are supplementary,
so
x+x+25=180
2x=155
x=77.5⁰ -1st angle

77.5+25=102.5⁰ - 2nd angle

Keith and Michelle went out to dinner. the total cost of their meal, including the tip, came to $53.70. if the combined tip came
insens350 [35]

If you subtract the $9.60 from the $53.70 you would be taking out the tip which would be $44.10. Then if you divide the $44.10 by 2, because they both payed equally, you would get $22.05 per person, not including the tip.
