Alice was flying a kite when a gust of wind caught the kite in a tree. Alice is standing 10 feet from the base of the tree, looking up at her kite at an angle of 25°. If Alice is 5 feet tall, approximately how high is the kite off of the

ground?

A4.66

B 9.66

C 21.45

D 9.23

B. 9.66

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how high the kite is off the ground, we will follow the steps below;

we will use trigonometric ratio to solve the problem. That is;

SOH CAH TOA

sinФ = opposite / hypotenuse

cosФ = opposite / hypotenuse

tanФ = opposite / adjacent

from the diagram below

Ф = 25°

opposite = x

adjacent = 10 feet

The best trig ratio to use is tan

we can now proceed to insert the values into the formula

tanФ = opposite / adjacent

tan 25° =

cross-multiply

x = 10 tan25°

x ≈4.66 feet

height of the kite off of the ground = x + height of Alice

                                                     =4.66 + 5

                                                     =9.66 feet

Therefore, the kite is 9.66 feet high off  of the ground

when rotating a figure 180 degrees, imagine that you are able to take the figure and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise around a center point. to rotate a figure 180 degrees, you will need to apply the rule (x, y) → (-x, -y). start by using a coordinate grid with coordinates for each vertex of the figure. the center point of the coordinate grid is located at (0, 0), which is what you will rotate the figure around. write down the original coordinates of the shape you are going to rotate. then, apply the rule. for example, coordinate (1, 2) becomes (-1, -2). another example would be, coordinate (-4, -2) becoming (4, 2). after you change each original coordinate to the rotated coordinate, you will draw your new figure.
