The distance between the ground and the kite to the nearest foot is 64 ft.

<h3>What is a right angle triangle?</h3>

A right angle triangle is a triangle that has one of its sides as 90 degrees. The situation forms a right angle triangle.

Hence,

The length of the kite string is the hypotenuse side of the triangle formed.

The height between the ground and the kite is the opposite side of the triangle formed.

Therefore, using trigonometric ratio,

sin 40 = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 40 = h / 100

cross multiply

h = 100 sin 40

h = 100 × 0.64278760968

h = 64.2787609687

h = 64 ft

Therefore, the distance between the ground and the kite to the nearest foot is 64 ft.

Find principal of a loan at 11% for 5 years with $426.25 simple interest

Ahat [919]

Answer:

$P=775$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Simple Interest Equation is $A = P(1 + rt)$

where

A = Total Accrued Amount (principal + interest)

P = Principal Amount

I = Interest Amount

t = Time Period involved in months or years

In this case, we do not know the values of the equation (A and P), but we know the amount of interest accrued

If we define our principal whit this formula, we are able to know the rest of the values:

$A-P= interest$

clearing

$A=interest+P$

replacing

$426.25 + P = P (1+(0.11(5))$

Solving

$426.25+P=1.55P$

$P-1.55P=-426.25$

$-0.55P=-426.65$

$P=\frac{-426.25}{-0.55}$

$P=775$

Evaluate (mn)(x) for x = - 3.<br> (mn)(-3) =

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

-3mn

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems you might be missing some of the question, as you haven't given what m and n are equal to.

If the question has just given you x, then you would simply just simplify it to get -3mn.
