Answer: the length of string that been let out to fly the kite this high is 172.89 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of string attached to the kite, the vertical height of the kite above the ground and the ground distance forms a right angle triangle.

With an angle of 57 degrees, the length of the string that is attached to the kite represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

The height of the kite above the ground represents the opposite side of the triangle

To determine h, the length of the string that has been let out to fly the kite this high, we would apply the

Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Sine θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

Sin 57 = 145/h

h = 145/Sin57 = 145/0.8387

h = 172.89

If K is the midpoint of JL, JK = 8x+11 and KL = 14x-1, find JL.
gladu [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, K is the midpoint of JL.

\therefore \: JK = KL \\ 8x + 11 = 14x - 1 \\ 11 + 1 = 14x - 8x \\ 12 = 6x \\  \frac{12}{6}  = x \\ 2 = x \\  \\  \because \: JL = JK + KL \\   \therefore \: JL = 8x + 11 + 14x - 1 \\ \therefore \: JL = 8x + 14x + 11 - 1 \\ \therefore \: JL = 22x + 10\\  \therefore \: JL = 22 \times 2 + 10..(plug \: x = 2) \\  \therefore \:JL = 44 + 10 \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \:JL = 54}}

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Hey again! Just remember about the number lines. If it's easier, you can use a calculator to divide the fractions to make them easier to visualize in decimal form.

The answer to this one is:

-2.4

-2.25

-11/5 (which is -2.2)

-15/10 (1.5)

-1.6
