Rosa runs 3 miles in 42 minutes.
I divided 42 by 56 to get the percentage that will be multiplied to 4 miles to get the number of miles Rosa runs in 42 minutes.
42 / 56 = 0.75 * 100% = 75%
75% * 4 miles = 3 miles.
3 miles within 42 minutes
Answer:
Copy an angle is the best solution with compass and straight edge.
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)
