Here is your answer. Hope you'll find it helpful. :)
Answer:
the measure of AB equals the measure of BC
2x+1=3x-4
4+1=3x-2x
5=x
BC=3x-4=3*5-4=15-4=11
AB=2x+1=2*5+1=10+1=11
AC=AB+BC=11+11=22
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
15.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Find attached to this answer the appropriate diagram.
We would be using the Pythagoras Theorem to solve this question
The formula is given as:
a² + b² = c²
Where a = opposite side
b = adjacent side
c = hypotenuse
From the question,
a = opposite side = unknown
b = adjacent side = 7 feet
c = hypotenuse = 17 feet
We are to find the opposite side
Using the formula
a² + b² = c²
a² = c² - b²
a² = 17 feet² - 7 feet ²
a² = 289 feet² - 49 feet²
a² = 240 feet²
a = √240 feet²
a = 15.491933385 feet
Approximately 15.5 feet
Therefore, the kite is 15.5 feet high up in the tree.
