A girl is flying a kite in strong winds. She releases the string at a rate of 1 yard per minute (assume the string is straight). The kite remains 30 yards above the ground moving horizontally to the ground.

\n" ); document.write( "A) How fast is the kite moving horizontally away from the girl when there is 50 yards of string out?
\n" ); document.write( "================
\n" ); document.write( "d = horizontal distance in yards
\n" ); document.write( "h = 30
\n" ); document.write( "s = length of string
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "s^2 = d^2 + 30^2
\n" ); document.write( "2s*ds/dt = 2d*dd/dt
\n" ); document.write( "50*1 = d*dd/dt
\n" ); document.write( "d = 40 yards (3-4-5 triangle)
\n" ); document.write( "50 = 40*dd/dt
\n" ); document.write( "dd/dt = 1.25 yd/minute
