Answer:
The height of the kite is 7.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
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
x = 7.54
x = 7.5
Therefore, the height of the kite is 7.5 feet.
The line, shadow and the height form a right angled triangle so we can apply the Pythagoras theorem here:-
11^2 = h^2 + 8^2 where h = height of the kite
h^2 = 11^2 - 8^2
h^2 = 57
h = 7.55 ft to the nearest foot Answer

Answer:
infinite solution
Step-by-step explanation:
hello
we substitute b = 4a + 2 in the second expression
12a -3*(4a+2) = -6
<=> 12a -12a -6 = -6
<=> -6 = -6
which is always true
so there is infinite solution
hope this helps
I don't think so because they're different things!
