Answer: a) It will be a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 75 and a vertical leg that is 62. 
b) The length of the kite string is 75 (given in the problem). However, I believe you are looking for the distance from the spot on the ground beneath the kite to Janet. That is about 42.2 m.

To find the missing distance in the right triangle. You have to use the Pythagorean Theorem.  I set it up and solve it below.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 62^2 = 75^2
x^2 + 3844 = 5625
x^2 = 1781
x = 42.2 (about)

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Both, you and your friend, are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle measures 73.6° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Smaller angle = 53.2

Larger angle = 126.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say x is the measure of the supplement. Since we know they're supplementary, we know their angle measure sum will equal 180. We can set up our equation like this x + (x-73.6) = 180. Note: (x - 73.6) is the measure of the smaller angle. By solving, we get 126.8 degrees for the measure of the supplement. If we plug in the value of x into (x-73.6), we get 53.2 degrees as the angle measure of the smaller angle.

Kayla is going to tile a 6 foot by 9 foot rectangular section of her bathroom wall with square tiles that measure 3 inches tall
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: 864 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Rather than calculating the whole area of bathroom and area of one tile, It is quicker and easier to determine how many rows of tiles that will be needed.

Note that 1 feet = 12 inches

Each tile measures 3 inches on each side.

Length: 9 feet = 9 × 12 = 108 inches

Therefore, 108/3 = 36 tiles will fit along the length.

Width: 6 feet = 6 × 12 = 72 inches. Therefore, 72/3 = 24 tiles will fit along the width.

So, (36 × 24) = 864 tiles will be needed.
