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)

A _____ is accepted to be true without proof, while a _____ is an assertion that can be proven using the rules of logic.
deff fn [24]

Answer:

A <u>postulate</u> is accepted to be true without proof, while a <u>theorem </u>is an assertion that can be proven using the rules of logic.

Explanation:

In mathematics, a postulate is a statement that is considered to be true without looking for any proof of that statement. Other hypotheses or statements can be tested using a postulate as a standard. A postulate is not only significant in mathematics but also plays an important role in understanding the concept of physics.

A theorem can be described as a statement that can be proved right by using logical pieces of evidence.
