using the Pythagorean Thereom:

3^2 +4^2 = X^2

9 +16 = 25

x^2 = 25

X = sqrt (25)

x = 5

 it would be 5 miles

Answer:

5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Going 3 miles due south and 4 miles due east (since school is 4 miles west of Jimmy's house, this means Jimmy's house is due east of the school) forms the legs of a right triangle.

To find the missing side length of a right triangle, we use the Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

3² + 4² = c²

9 + 16 = c²

25 = c²

The opposite of "squared" is "square root":

√25 = √(c²)

5 = c

Chee is flying a kite, holding her hands a distance of 3.25 feet above the ground and
Mademuasel [1]

The height of the kite above the ground is 58.68 ft

Let x be the height of the kite above Chee's hand.

The height of the kite above Chee's hand, the string and the horizontal distance between Chee and the kite form a right angled triangle with hypotenuse side, the length of the string and opposite side the height of the kite above Chee's hand.

Since we have the angle of elevation from her hand to the kite is 29°, and the length of the string is 100 ft.

From trigonometric ratios, we have

tan29° = x/100

So, x = 100tan29°

x = 100 × 0.5543

x = 55.43 ft.

Since Chee's hand is y = 3.25 ft above the ground, the height of the kite above the ground, L = x + y

= 55.43 ft + 3.25 ft

= 58.68 ft to the nearest hundredth of a foot

So, the height of the kite above the ground is 58.68 ft
