Question

A kite is flying 40 feet above a stop sign. The child flying the kite is standing 30 feet feet away from the stop sign. How long is the string from the child to the kite?

Answer 1

50 feet

Explanation:

It's supposed to be 30x30= 900, 40x40= 1'600

900+1600=2500. 2500 square rooted= 50

the answer is 50

so sorry to say but ritmeks you're wrong, you don't add them together you multiply them by themselves then add both together then you square root the answer you get from that

Answer 2

70 feet

Explanation:

A kite is flying 30 feet from a stop sign

The child flying the kite is standing 40 feet from the stop sign

Therefore the length of the string from the child to the kite can be calculated as follows.

= 30 feet + 40 feet

= 70 feet
