Answer: The height of the kite above the point at which the string is held is 120\sqrt{2} feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A kite is being flown at 45^{\circ} . The string of the kite is 120 feet long.  

Let AB denote the string of kite and AC be the height of the kite above the point at which the string is held.

Now, in right Δ ABC

\sin45^{\circ}=\frac{AC}{AB}\\\Rightarrow\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{AC}{120}\\\Rightarrow\ AC=120\sqrt{2}

hence, The height of the kite above the point at which the string is held is 120\sqrt{2} feet.

Answer:

height will be =84.86 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that A kite is being flown at a 45° angle which means angle of elevation is 45°. Also, the length of the string of the kite=120 feet.

Thus,

\frac{AB}{AC}=sin45^{\circ}

⇒\frac{AB}{120}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

⇒AB=120{\times}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

⇒AB=\frac{120}{1.414}

⇒AB=84.86 feet

Thus, the height will be =84.86 feet.

Two squares are similar. The
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The perimeter of the second square is 36 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the sides of the squares with S1 and S2.

So:

S_1:S_2 = 1 : 3 --- Scale factor

P_1 =12 --- perimeter of the first

Required

Calculate P2, the perimeter of the second

Represent the ratios of the perimeter:

Scale = P_1 : P_2

Substitute 12 for P1

Scale = 12 : P_2

Equate both scale factors

12 : P_2 = 1:3

Convert to fraction

\frac{12}{P_2} = \frac{1}{3}

Cross multiply

P_2 = 12 * 3

P_2 = 36

Sally and her husband Jim left their house at the same time traveling in the same direction. Sally drove at 55mph and Jim drove
romanna [79]

Answer:

It will take 10 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know distance = rate * time

Sally's rate = 55

Jim's rate = 65

We want Jim to be 100 miles ahead of Sally

The time will always be the same.

d =Sally's distance


Sally

d = 55t


Jim

d+100 = 65 t


We know have 2 equations with 2 unknowns.  Substitute d= 55t into Jim's equations

55t + 100 = 65t

Subtract 55t from both sides.

55t-55t + 100 = 65t-55t

100 = 10t

divide each side by 10

100/10 = 10t/10

10 = t

The number of red  beads are increasing by 2  for each new pattern
The next number of reds will be 12.  ( in patern 5)

number of blue beads in pattern 5 will be 15 ( increasing by 3 )

nth term for red  = 4 + 2 (n-1)  ( its an arithmetic sequence)

nth term for blue =  3 + 3(n - 1)   - as above ,arithmetic.

Total beads in pattern 45 is

No. red beads in pattern 26   = 4  + 2(26-1)  = 4 + 50 = 54
No  blue beads in pattern 60 =  3 + 3(59)  =  180

Total number of beads in pattern 45 is:-

 4 + 2(44) + 3 + 3(44)  =   227
