A kite is flying so that it is 65 m high and above a point 57m from the person holding the string. What is the length of the str
1 answer:
Answer:
86.452 m
Step-by-step explanation:
I've attached an image showing the position of the person and the string and the kite.
From the image attached, we can see that the length of the string can be calculated from pythagoras theorem since the triangle is a right angled triangle.
Thus, let length of string be denoted as s.
s = √(65² + 57²)
s = √7474
s ≈ 86.452 m

Answer:
x = 10.19803903 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to calculate the differences in the posts height.
8 - 6 = 2
Then you can use that to draw a right triangle and solve for the distance between the tops using Pythagorean theorem.
10² + 2² = x²
100 + 4 = x² --- solve
x² = 104 --- solve
x = 10.19803903 meters --- square root both sides
