Final answer:
To find the height at which the kite is flying, add the height of the lamp post (84 feet) to the height of the kite above the lamp post (9.75 feet), which equals 93.75 feet. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the kite is flying 94 feet high.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how high the kite is flying, one needs to add the height above the lamp post to the height of the lamp post itself. The kite is flying 9.75 feet directly above the lamp post which has a height of 84 feet.
The calculation would be:
Height of kite = Height of lamp post + Height above lamp post
Height of kite = 84 feet + 9.75 feet
Height of kite = 93.75 feet
Since we need a whole number and the options are in whole numbers, we round 93.75 to the nearest whole number which gives us 94 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is (B) 94 feet.
