Quinn is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 46°, and the kite string forms a straight segment that is 80 feet long. Explain how to find the distance between the ground and the kite. Include a description of the triangle you drew to help you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. Round your answer to the nearest foot.

57.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the 80 ft kite string is the hypotenuse. angle is 46 degrees which is given. the opposite side is the height we are looking for. the sine of an agle is opposite/hypotenuse so we can use 80 sin 46 to find the height of the kite.

80 sin 46 = 57.5

d. bc = 12 and ef = 16

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that δabc : δdef such that .

also, it is given that

so, from the options, we need that .

a.

b.

c.  

d.

as, we can see that only option d gives the same ratio as i.e. .

hence, the possible lengths are bc = 12 and ef = 16.

step-by-step explanation:

divide, then simplify your answer.

1. make -15.66 ÷   5.8 a fraction. then divide.

2. simplify.  

3. final answer.
