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.

Answer:

We use it to substitute an unknown number. We have a variable for a number we don’t know and as we solve the problem we can find the answer for the variable or unknown number.

I don't understand this question, picture attached.
mina [271]

We can find this using the formula for arc length (where r is the radius of the circle and \theta is the central angle in radians):

\textrm{Arc Length} = r\theta


In our problem, we are given 12 = 8\theta. This means that:

\theta = \dfrac{12}{8} = \boxed{\frac{3}{2}}


The measure of the angle is 1.5.
