Answer:

173.15 ft.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let L be the length of kite.  

We have been given that a kite is stuck in  36-ft tree. The angle of elevation from the kite and the ground is 12.

We can see from our attachment that kite and tree form a right triangle. height of tree is opposite of angle of elevation and length of kite is hypotenuse.

Since we know that Sine relates the opposite and hypotenuse of a right triangle, so we will use sine to find the length of kite.

sin(12)=\frac{36}{L}    

L=\frac{36}{sin(12)}

L=\frac{36}{0.207911690818}  

L=173.1504364105882792\approx 173.15

Therefore, the length of kite is 173.15 ft.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (−6,−3) and has a slope of 0?
umka2103 [35]

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,-3) and has a slope of 0 is y = -3

The line is passing through the point = (-6,-3)

The slope of the line = 0

The point slope form is

(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)

Substitute the values in the equation

(y-(-3)) = 0×(x-(-6))

We have to convert this equation the slope intercept form

Slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope of the line

b is the y intercept

(y-(-3)) = 0×(x-(-6))

y+3 = 0×(x+6)

y+3 = 0

y = -3

Hence, the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,-3) and has a slope of 0 is y = -3.

Answer:

3 1/3 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting equation:

4 + 5/6 - 1 - 1/2

4 - 1 = 3

5/6 - 1/2 = ?

Find the LCD of 5/6 and 1/2 and rewrite to solve.

5/6 - 3/6 = 2/6

2/6 = 1/3

3 + 1/3 = 3 1/3

Whole number: 3

numerator: 1

denominator: 3
