Question

Aditya was flying a kite which was at a height of 40m just above a tree. The string was 50m long. How far away from the tree was Aditya flying the kite?

Answer 1

Answer:

30 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Aditya was flying a kite which was at a height of 40m just above a tree. The string was 50m long. How far away from the tree was Aditya flying the kite?

Height of Kite = Height of Tree = 40 m

String Length = 50 m

Aditya distance from bottom of Tree  = X  m

applying Pythagoras theorem

50² = 40² + X²

=> 2500 = 1600 + X²

=> X² = 900

=> X = 30

Aditya was 30 m away from tree

Answer 2

Answer:

30m is right answer by applying Pythagoras theorem
