The answer is 30
7(8)+4(2)-2(17)=30
Answer: a) It will be a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 75 and a vertical leg that is 62.
b) The length of the kite string is 75 (given in the problem). However, I believe you are looking for the distance from the spot on the ground beneath the kite to Janet. That is about 42.2 m.
To find the missing distance in the right triangle. You have to use the Pythagorean Theorem. I set it up and solve it below.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 62^2 = 75^2
x^2 + 3844 = 5625
x^2 = 1781
x = 42.2 (about)
Answer: x = 14.43
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem states the following:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Make one side of the triangle x
Make the second side of the triangle 2x
Now, you can plug the values into the equation, right?
x^2 + 2x^2 = 25^2 or 625
3x^2 = 625
Divide each side by 3 and you are left with:
x^2 = 208.33
Now, take the square root of 208.33
x = 14.43
That is the shorter side. The longer side is twice that value: Therefore, 14.43 x 2 = 28.86 14.43 is one side of the triangle. The other is that same value times two. Therefore, the sides of your triangle are: 14.43 Shorter side 28.86 Longer side
Hi , the actual answer is 10/24 , when we simplify the fraction 5/12 is the new answer.
