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).
The formula for the area of a sector in radians is
, where theta is the angle in radians. For us, the formula looks like this:
. Doing all the multiplication on that gives us
. Multiplying in pi and rounding to the nearest tenth gives us an area of 76.3 meters squared. You can use the formula for the area of a sector with the angle in degrees as well. Just replace the 360 degrees with 2pi and it works the exact same way.

Answer:
12/13
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes over the total number of outcomes.
Assuming that this is a standard deck of playing cards, there will be 52 cards, and there will be 4 "4" cards.
First, find the number of desired outcomes, and put it over the total number of outcomes.
Out of the total number of outcomes (52), there are 4 outcomes that are not wanted, hence the equation is:
52 - 4 = 48
So out of the 52 possible outcomes, 48 are desired. Set up the fraction and
simplify:
48/52
/4 /4
= 12/13
