Question

Curts kite is 36 yards above the ground and directly above the tree. The length of the string from Curt to the kite is 49 yards. How far is Curt from the tree?

Answer 1

about 33.24 yards

Explanation:

a² + b² = c²

so, 36² + b² = 49²

1296 + b² = 2401

b² = 1105

Take the square root of both sides..

b = 33.24 yards
