Answer:

If the kite has an 11 ft line attached to it and it casts an 8 feet shadow, we will have a rectangle triangle (see picture below).

To find the height x of the kite, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem.

x² = 11² - 8²

x² = 121 - 64

x² = 57

x =√57 Step-by-step explanation:

Match the equation with the step needed to solve it.
ziro4ka [17]

To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "m" by itself in the equation:

1. 2m - 1 = 3m    Subtract 2m on both sides to get "m" on one side of the equation

2m - 2m - 1 = 3m - 2m

-1 = m

2. 2m = 1 + m     Subtract m on both sides to get "m" on one side of the equation

2m - m = 1 + m - m

m = 1

3. m - 1 = 2       Add 1 on both sides to get "m" by itself

m - 1 + 1 = 2 + 1

m = 3

4. 2 + m = 3   Subtract 2 on both sides to get "m" by itself

m = 1

5. -2 + m = 1      Add 2 on both sides to get "m" by itself

m = 3

6. 3 = 1 + m     Subtract 1 on both sides to get "m" by itself

2 = m

Rachel runs 6 miles in 50 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 35 minutes?
Naily [24]

Answer: 4.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

So she ran 6 miles in 50 minutes how long will she run in 35 minutes?

So the equation will therefore be:

6=50

x=35

Cross multiply

6 x 35 = 50x

210 = 50x

Divide both sides by 50

The answer is 4.2 miles
