A kite which is flying at a height of 215 m above the ground level descends at the rate of 5m per minute . Find its height from the ground after 30 minutes
215 - (30 * 5) = _______ m
65 meter
5multiply by 30=150.
To find the height of the kite from the ground after 30 minutes, we need to find the final height of the kite after it descends for 30 minutes.
Given:
Initial height of the kite = 215 m
Rate of descent = 5 m per minute
Time = 30 minutes
To find the final height, we can use the formula:
Final height = Initial height - (Rate of descent * Time)
Let's substitute the given values into the formula:
Final height = 215 m - (5 m/min * 30 min)
Calculating,
Final height = 215 m - 150 m = 65 m
Therefore, the height of the kite from the ground after 30 minutes is 65 meters.
