Answer:

The measure of the angle between the kite string and the ground is 72.54°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A kite with a 100 foot-long string is caught in a tree. When the full length of the string is stretched in a straight line to the ground, it touches the ground a distance of 30 feet from the bottom of the tree.

To find : The measure of the angle between the kite string and the ground.

Solution :

Refer the attached figure.

In a right angle ΔABC,

A kite with a 100 foot-long string is caught in a tree.

i.e, AC=100 ft.

Length of the string touches the ground a distance of 30 feet from the bottom of the tree.

i.e, BC=30 ft.

We have to find the angle C between the kite string and the ground.

Apply trigonometric function,

\cos\theta=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

\cos\theta=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{AC}}

\cos\theta=\frac{30}{100}

\cos\theta=0.3

\theta=\cos^{-1}(0.3)

\theta=72.54^\circ

Therefore, The measure of the angle between the kite string and the ground is 72.54°.

Hyp=100,adj side=30

angle=cos^{-1}(30/100)

Kamila buys a notebook for $1.59 and pens for $0.29 each. She spends $5.07.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

12 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variable that can be used to determine the number of pens that Kamila bought be represented by n.

Price of a notebook = $1.59

Price a pen = $0.29

Total amount spent = $5.07

But,

1.59 + 0.29 n = 5.07

So that,

0.29 n = 5.07 - 1.59

0.29 n  = 3.48

n = \frac{3.48}{0.29}

  = 12

Therefore, Kamila bought 12 pens.

Which data value has the highest frequency? 1 1/6 3 1/6 3/8 5/8
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

3 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the highest value, we have to evaluate each term individually,

1)  1 1/6 = 7/6 = 1.167

2) 3 1/6 = 19/6 = 3.16

3) 3/8 = 0.375

4) 5/8 = 0.625

Therefore, second data value (3 1/6) is highest.
