18. A child is flying a kite and has let out all 80 feet of the kite's string. The kite is
35 feet above a stop sign. How far is the
child from the stop sign?

I'm pretty sure the answer is 45 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The string is out at all 80 feet, and is 35 feet away from a stop sign. Then wouldn't 80-35=45?

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
