The height of the kite is 7.5 feet.
Explanation:
If the kite has an 11 ft line attached to it and it casts an 8 feet shadow, we will have a rectangle triangle (see picture below).
To find the height x of the kite, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem.
x² = 11² - 8²
x² = 121 - 64
x² = 57
x =√57
A kite flying in the air has an 11-ft line attached to it its line is pulled taut and casts a 9-ft shadow find the height of the kite If neccessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth
