You have to convert 117.46 meters to feet. so you know that 0.3048 meters is 1 foot.
117.46 / 0.3048= 385.37feet red kite
now you can simply subtract
385.37-362.26=23.11ft
the answer is, the red kite has an altitude 23.11 feet higher then the black kite.
Complex roots occur when b^2 - 4ac is negative.
So we have (-6)^2 - 4.1.k < 0
-4k < - 36
k > 9
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above
![y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}x+5\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Cstackrel%7Bm%7D%7B%5Cdownarrow%20%7D%7D%7B-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%7Dx%2B5%5Cqquad%20%5Cimpliedby%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7B%7Cc%7Cll%7D%20%5Ccline%7B1-1%7D%20slope-intercept~form%5C%5C%20%5Ccline%7B1-1%7D%20%5C%5C%20y%3D%5Cunderset%7By-intercept%7D%7B%5Cstackrel%7Bslope%5Cqquad%20%7D%7B%5Cstackrel%7B%5Cdownarrow%20%7D%7Bm%7Dx%2B%5Cunderset%7B%5Cuparrow%20%7D%7Bb%7D%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccline%7B1-1%7D%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill)
so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 3 and passes through (1 , 10)
You answer for solving for x is w/r+56
