between were erika is standing to the vertical distance from the kite is 75 meters. how high is the kite in meters

Question

a.)125
b.)100
c.)25
d.)15

My answer is c am i correct ?

Answer 1

Is this the whole entire problem, or is there more information to this?

Is it actually: "Erika is flying a kite. If the length of string is 125 meters and the distance between where Erika is standing to the vertical distance from the kite is 75 meters, how high is the kite in meters?"?

Answer 2

yes ma'am

Answer 3

or sir ._.

Answer 4

Well,

"125 squared = 75 squared + b squared
125 squared - 75 squared = b squared
10,000 = b squared
square root of b = 100 meters"

I will explain a little bit more about the above information to help you understand.

Here's the equation to be used in the above information:

"125 squared - 75 squared = b squared"

125 squared = 15,625

75 squared = 5,625

15,675 - 5,625 = 10,000

Now, you take the square root of 10,000, and it equals 100. That's how you get "10,000 = b squared". "10,000 = b squared" is pretty much the same as "square root of b = 100 meters", so you just take the square root of 10,000. This would be 100, so "b" is 100 in this problem. Finally, 100 meters is the answer to your problem, so B is the correct answer.

Answer 5

"125 squared - 75 squared = b squared" is also (125^2) - (75^2) = (b^2), to help you out even more.
