The answer to this question is the second one
The height of the kite is 4.89 feet
Explanation
The length of the line attached to the kite=7 feet
The length of the shadow that is cast on the ground=5 feet
the system forms a right angled triangle where the taught string of the kite is the hypotenuse, the shadow is the base and the height of the kite above the ground is the height.
H=7 feet
b=5 feet
using pythagoras theorem
The kite is 4.89 feet above the ground
Add 2 to both sdies
now if we can facor, then if
xy=0 then x and/or y=0
note:xy=x times y and x(y) =x times y
x^2+3x+2=0
what 2 number multiply to get 2 and add to get 3
the numbers are 2 and 1
(x+2)(x+1)=0
set them to zero
x+2=0
subtract 2
x=-2
x+1=0
subtract 1
x=-1
x could be -1 or -2
x=-2, or -1
Answer:
d ≈ 5.7
Step-by-step explanation:
[Given] d² = 33
[Square root both sides] =
[Solve for and cancel out the square root + square] d ≈ 5.74456
[Round to nearest tenth] d ≈ 5.7
