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:

What is the solution of the system?<br> 10x – 2y = 24<br> 6x+2y = 8
Stels [109]

Answer: x = 2 , y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

10x - 2y = 24 ..................... equation 1

6x + 2y = 8 ........................ equation 2

solving the system of linear equation by elimination method , add equation 1 and 2

16x = 32

divide through by 16

x = 2

substitute x = 2 into equation 1 to find the value of y

10(2) - 2y = 2y

20 - 2y = 2y

20 = 4y

y = 5

(x^6z^9)(4xyz^9)(-5x^8y^6)
Mariana [72]
We can re arrange this:
(-5)*(4) * x^6 * x * x^8 * y * y^6 * z^9 * z^9

using exponent properties
we can get
-20 x^15 y^7 z^18
as our simplified answer.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

12 °F

2°F per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference can be found by substracting:

7°F-( -5 °F)

=12 °F

To find the average change in temperature per hour, divide by how many hours between 6 to midnight. Between 6 to midnight is 6 hours.

12°F / 6 hours

= 2°F/ hour
