Answer:

25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Sally is at the park standing directly under a kite which is 20 feet overheadSally's dad is flying the kitc and is standing 15 feet from her If both are on level ground, how long is the kite string in feet?

To calculate the length of the kite string, we will apply pythagorean theorem.

Length = sqrt ( 20^2 + 15^2 )

Length = sqrt ( 400 + 225 )

Length = sqrt ( 625 )

Length = 25 feet.

Therefore, the length of the kite string is 25 feet.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

it‘s about

32.08 ft (if its not an answer choice try 32 or anywhere near that number)

Step-by-step explanation:

SO this is a simple example of triangles

We would need to find the heigh of the flagpole which is the leg of the triangle

The other side (14ft) is the 2nd leg of the triangle

And we know the hypotenuse is 35 ft

So we put that in Pythagorean Theroux and solve for the first missing leg

a^2+14^2=35^2

a^2+196=1225

a^2=1029

√1029 is about 32.08

So its about 32.08

PLZ HELP ASAP.....Your dad is researching landscaping companies to come put new mulch out for the year. The first company charge
Blizzard [7]

Answer: After 5 bags of mulch, the cost for both companies will be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost for Company can be represented by the equation: y= 10m+100

The cost for Company B can be represented by the equation: y= 30m

To find the amount of mulch, their cost needs to be the same, I will solve for m

10m+100=30m

-10m 10m

100=20m

Divide both side by 20

100/20=20m/20

5=m or m=5

So after 5 bags of mulch, the total cost for both companies is the same.

A line passes through the points (–5, 2) and (10, –1). Which is the equation of the line?
beks73 [17]

Slope = (2 + 1) / (-5 - 10) = -3/15 = - 1/5

Equation

y - 2 = -1/5 (x + 5)

y - 2 = -1/5 x - 1

y = -1/5 x + 1

Answer

y = -1/5 x + 1

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6,14) and is parallel to the line with the following equation? y
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+22

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we need to know:</u>

  • Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept
  • Parallel lines always have the same slope (<em>m</em>)

<u>Determine the slope (</u><em><u>m</u></em><u>):</u>

<u />y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x -1<u />

The slope of the given line is \displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}, since it is in the place of <em>m</em> in y=mx+b. Because parallel lines always have the same slope, the slope of a parallel line would also be \displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+b

<u>Determine the y-intercept (</u><em><u>b</u></em><u>):</u>

y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+b

To find the y-intercept, plug in the given point (6,14) and solve for <em>b</em>:

14=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}(6)+b\\\\14=-8+b\\b=22

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 22. Plug this back into y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+b:

y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+22

I hope this helps!

Suppose that all the points on the circular dartboard shown are equally likely to be hit by a dart. if the radius of the red cir
Anestetic [448]
This equals the  the area of white part / area of the entire dartboard

area of the entire board = pi * 6^2 = 36pi

area of white part = 36pi  - 2^2*pi  = 32pi

do required probability = 32pi / 36pi  =  0.889   or 88.9 %   (to nearest tenth)
