Algebra.Com's Answer #276353 by mananth(16946) You can put this solution on YOUR website! The horizontal distance of a kite from the boy flying it is 30 m and 50 m of cord is out from the roll. If the wind moves the kite horizontally at the rate of 5 km per hour directly away from the boy, how fast is the cord being released? \n" ); document.write( "..... \n" ); document.write( "This is right triangle problem. \n" ); document.write( "horizontal distance is 30m \n" ); document.write( "string is 50m \n" ); document.write( "the vertical distance = 40m (pythagorean triple) \n" ); document.write( "kite rate horizontally = 5km/h \n" ); document.write( "=5000m/3600 seconds \n" ); document.write( "Hypotenuse to ground distance ratio = 5/3\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "String released at (5/3)*( 5000/3600) \n" ); document.write( "= 2.31 m/s approximately \n" ); document.write( "... \n" ); document.write( "m.ananth@hotmail.ca\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
