HELP ASAP!!

A kite is flying 10 feet off the ground. It’s line is pulled out in casts a 9 foot shadow, find the length of the line if necessary round to the nearest 10th.

Answer 1

We can use similar triangles to solve this problem. Let's call the length of the kite's line "x". Then, we can set up a proportion:

(length of kite) / (length of shadow) = (height of kite) / (length of shadow)

x / 9 = 10 / 9

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

x = 90 / 9

x = 10

Therefore, the length of the kite's line is 10 feet.
