What is the length of a kite string that is 6 meters above and 9 meters away from where it is being held? Round to the nearest tenth.

10.8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation forms a right triangle, where the length of the kite string is the hypotenuse, the distance from where it is held is the long leg, and the height is the short leg.

Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for c, the length of the kite string.

a² + b² = c²

6² + 9² = c²

36 + 81 = c²

117 = c²

10.8 = c

So, the length of the kite string is 10.8 meters

answer: domain and range mean all possible values of x and y that could be substituted to the inequality. a solution means all possible values that make the inequality statement true. so while the range is still all real numbers, the solution is the shaded area, for which y will always be greater than the line of the function.
