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.

Need the answer on this

denpristay [2]

None of the answers are correct because it’s definitely not “Given” because x=20 is like an answer. It’s also not “Distributive Property”, “subtraction Property”, and or “Additional Property” b/c there’s nothing that can be distributed, subtract or add. It’s just an answer.

Problem 33

Use the distributive property on the side containing parentheses of each expression and compare it to the other side.

a) 3(5a + 3) = 15a + 9 not equal to 15a + 6

b) 2(7b - 2) = 14b - 4 not equal to 14b + 4

c) 5(2c + 3) = 10c + 15 not equal to 7c + 8

d) 3(d + 5/3) = 3d + 5 which is equal to 3d + 5

Answer for problem 33: d)

Problem 34

Use a proportion. Let the unknown number of bowls be x. The proportion is made up of two ratios that are set equal to each other. Set each ratio as a ratio of the number of avocados per bowls of guacamole. 3 avocados per 1 bowl (3/1) equals 17 avocados per x bowls (17/x).

$\dfrac{3}{1} = \dfrac{17}{x}$

$3x = 17 \times 1$

$3x = 17$

$x = \dfrac{17}{3}$

$x = 5 \dfrac{2}{3}$

Answer: 17/3 full bowls which is the same as 5 2/3 full bowls.
