Answer:

x is equal to 24 and y is equal to 66.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of y, we first have to note that the unlabeled angle in the larger triangle, y and the 78 degree angle create a straight line. The unlabeled angle is equal to 36 since it and the other two angles equal 180. So we take that 36, 78 and y and can set that equal to 180.

36 + 78 + y = 180

114 + y = 180

y = 66

Now that we have that value, we can use y and the 90 degree angle to find x.

x + y + 90 = 180

x + 66 + 90 = 180

x + 156 = 180

x = 24

Answer:

48.49 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagrammatic sketch of the information provided in the question was attached in the image below.

From the image below, the distance between the two kites is denoted by (c) and can be determined by using the cosine angle rule which is expressed as:

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab cos \ C$

where;

a = 110

b = 104

Cos C = 26°

Then;

$c^2 = 110^2 + 104^2 -2(110)(104) cos \ 26 \\ \\ c^2 = 12100 + 10816- 22880 ( 0.8988) \\ \\ c^2 = 22916- 20564.544 \\ \\ c^2 = 2351.456 \\ \\ c= \sqrt{2351.456} \\ \\ \mathbf{ c = 48.49 \ feet}$
