Answer:
58°
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle can be drawn to model the geometry of the problem. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of the string, 100 ft. The side opposite the angle is the height of the kite above the ground, 85 ft.
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between sides and angles.
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(α) = (85 ft)/(100 ft) = 0.85
The angle whose sine is 0.85 is found using the arcsine (inverse sine) function:
α = arcsin(0.85) ≈ 58.2°
The angle of elevation is about 58°.

When using your calculator to find the values of inverse trig functions, make sure it is in <em>degrees</em> mode. Otherwise, you're likely to get the answer in radians (≈ 1.01599 radians).
Answer:
4.9 * 10⁻⁵
Step-by-step explanation:
0.000049 → 4.9
From your equation, you can see that you have a difference of two cubes (aka two cubes being subtracted): 64, which is

, and

.
There is rule for the difference of two cubes:
The difference of two cubes is equal to the difference of the cube roots times a binomial, which is the sum of the squares of the roots plus the product of the roots.
That sounds pretty confusing, but it's much easier to understand when put mathematically. Let's say our two cubes are

and

. The difference of those two cubes is:

In our problem, a = 4 (since

= 64) and b = y (since

. Plug these values into the rule to find the factor of
