An angle of elevation of 58 degrees with the ground means that the angle started at the x-axis and terminates on the first quadrant region through a counter clockwise direction. Imagining a triangle, the string of the kite becomes the hypotenuse, the angle 58 degrees is the angle between the hypotenuse and the ground, and the height of the kite is the side opposite to the angle.

Therefore, we can calculate for the height of the kite using the sin function:

sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse

sin 58 = opposite side / 50 m

opposite side = 50 m * sin 58

opposite side = 42.4 m

<span>Therefore the kite is about 42.4 m above the ground.</span>

Y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 5 = -8(x - 2)
y - 5 = -8(x) + 8(2)
y - 5 = -8x + 16

-x/3 &gt;5 the sign is supposed to be greater than or equal to but I don’t have that option
9966 [12]

Answer:

x ≤ -15

Step-by-step explanation:

-x / 3 ≥ 5

multiply by 3

-x ≥ 15

add x to both sides and subtract 15 from both sides

-15 ≥ x or x ≤ -15

Do 2 or more shapes with the same perimeter have to have the same area? Explain with examples. AND Do 2 or more shapes with the
Murljashka [212]
Yes. Take for example a square and an ellipsis with the same perimeter. The family of ellipses with the same perimeter can have any area between that of a circle to zero (if it is extremely “thin” i.e. if its eccentricity is large). The circle has the maximum area of any other shape with the same perimeter, so the square has the same area of one of the intermediate ellipses.
