Elsa is flying a kite. she let out 25 meters of string. the kite is directly above a spot that is 7 meters away. how high above the ground is the kite? (solve for leg)

The kite is 24 meters above the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

 To solve this problem you can draw a right triangle as the one shown in the figure attached, where is the height asked.

Then, you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem, which is shown below:

Where is the hypotenuse and and are the legs of the right triangle.

Now, you must solve for one the legs. Therefore, the result is:

Therefore the kite is 24 meters above the ground.

the square root of what number? if you add that, then someone will probably answer the question.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
