The current area is 15 x 9 = 135 square feet.
He wants to increase both the length and width by X:
Set up an equation:
(15 +x) * (9 +x) = 135 * 2
Simplify :
x^2 + 24x + 135 = 270
Subtract 270 from both sides:
x^2 + 24x - 135 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:
-24 +/- √(24^2 - 4(1*-135) / 2*1
x = 4.7 or -28.7
The answer has to be a positive value, so x = 4.7 feet.
The height of the kite is 4.89 feet
Explanation
The length of the line attached to the kite=7 feet
The length of the shadow that is cast on the ground=5 feet
the system forms a right angled triangle where the taught string of the kite is the hypotenuse, the shadow is the base and the height of the kite above the ground is the height.
H=7 feet
b=5 feet
using pythagoras theorem

The kite is 4.89 feet above the ground
Answer:
2.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay so first what you would do is find the common difference we can find this by doing 5/3 which is 1.66666666667 (rounded to 1.7)
Then what we do is 4 divided by 1.66666666667 which is 2.4
