Answer:

111.58 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the length of the string (AB in the attached diagram) is 120 feet.

Selena (at point D) is standing 24 feet from point A, where the kite is attached to the ground.

Since the kite is directly above Selena's head, the problem forms a right triangle.

Using Pythagoras theorem

|AB|^2=|BD|^2+|AD|^2\\120^2=|BD|^2+24^2\\|BD|^2=120^2-24^2\\|BD|^2=13824\\|BD|=\sqrt{13824} \\|BD|=117.58$ ft

Serena's height (CD=6 feet)

The distance of the kite above her head is BC in the drawn diagram.

Therefore:

|BD|=|BC|+|CD|

117.58=|BC|+6

|BC|=117.58-6

|BC|=111.58 feet

The kite is approximately 111.58 feet above Selena's head/

X would be the absolute value of 10 or -10 since they both are 10 units from 0 so it can be x=l10l or x=l-10l, they both equal 10

Which of the following inequalities has a solution x≥−3
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation: 3(x-1) becomes 3x -3 ≤ 4x. Put all like variables on the same side, meaning you'll subtract 3x from both sides giving you -3 ≤ x. You can flip the equation around to make it look exactly like x ≥ -3
