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

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

My answer is c am i correct ?

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?"?

yes ma'am

or sir ._.

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.

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

To find the height of the kite, you need to subtract the vertical distance from where Erika is standing (75 meters) from her actual height. The possible answer choices are as follows:

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

Since the vertical distance from Erika to the kite is given as 75 meters, and you need to find the height of the kite, you should subtract 75 meters from the correct answer choice.

Let's subtract 75 meters from each option to see which one gives us the correct height:

a) 125 meters - 75 meters = 50 meters
b) 100 meters - 75 meters = 25 meters
c) 25 meters - 75 meters = -50 meters
d) 15 meters - 75 meters = -60 meters

From the calculations above, we can see that the correct height of the kite is 25 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is option c). You are correct!
