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

-5(p+3/5)=-4 what is the answer

Answer:

-5(p+3/5)=-4 what is the answer

The answer is P = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question -5(p+3/5)=-4 applying the law of BODMAS we will use -5 to open the bracket

we have [-5(p) + -5×3/5] = -4

-5p - 3 =-4

collecting the like terms

we have; -5p = -4 + 3

-5p = -1

divide both sides by -5

we have; -5p/-5 = -1/-5

the minus sign cancels out and we have

p= 1/5

check your answer by sloting the value of p into the question -5(p+3/5)=-4

-5(1/5 + 3/5) = -4

-4=-4
