Answer:

8 (7.94)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can think of it as a geometry problem.

What is formed here is a triangle, which sides ate: the line, the line's shadow, and the height from the ground to the kite (here I attach a drawing).

What you need to find is the height. We will call it H.

As the triangle formed is a right one, we can use Pitágoras' theorem. The height H squared plus the squared of the shadow is equal to the squared of the line (the hypotenuse). This is:

H^2 + 9^2 = 12^2

H^2 + 81= 144

H^2 = 63

Applying squared root in both sides

H = √63

H = 7,94

So, the height is approximately 8.

slega [8]

Answer:

Answer:

x=\frac{75}2

Step-by-step explanation:

Give letters, as in the attached image.

The triangles ABE and CDE are similars (AAA). In particular AE:CE=BE:DE \rightarrow 46:30=(x+20):x \rightarrow 46x=30(x+20) \rightarrow 23x=15x+300 \rightarrow 8x=300\rightarrow  x=\frac{75}2

4) The area of a piece of pie in the shape of a sector is 7.1 in. The angle of the sector is 40°. Find the diameter of
elixir [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of sector = angle/360 * pi * r^2

7.1 = 40/360 * 22/7 * r^2

7.1 = 1/9 * 22/7 * r^2

63.9 = 22r^2/7

r^2 = (7 * 63.9)/22

r^2 = 20.331818181818

r = square root of 20.331818181818

r = 4.51

d = r * 2 = 4.51 * 2 = 9.02

Two runners start 30kilometer apart and run toward each other. they meet after 3hours. One Runner runs 2 kilometers per hour fas
joja [24]

Answer:

4 km per hour and 6 km per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined running rate  = 30/3 = 10 km/h.

If one runner's speed = x then the other one's speed is x+2 km/h.

So x + x + 2 = 10

2x = 8

x = 4

So one runs at 4 km/h and the other at 6 km/h.
