Answer:

A - 1.6 meter and B - 0.40 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The orange ribbon was 2 meters long.

The blue ribbon was 4/5 as long as the orange ribbon.

Linda cut off a piece of the blue ribbon.

The length of the cut piece was 25% of the length of the blue ribbon.

To find:

A) What was the length of the blue ribbon before it was cut?

B) Find the length of the piece of the blue ribbon that Linda cut off.

Solution:

Length of orange ribbon = 2 m

Length of blue ribbon = \frac{4}{5} \times2 =\frac{8}{5}   (given)

As the length of the cut piece was 25%  of the length of the blue ribbon,

Therefore the length of the cut piece = \frac{8}{5} of 25\%

                                                               = \frac{8}{5} \times\frac{25}{100} = \frac{200}{500}  = 0.40 meter

Therefore, A : The length of the blue ribbon before it was cut is \frac{8}{5} meter that is 1.6 meter

B :  The length of the piece of the blue ribbon that Linda cut off is 0.40 meter

A) 2*4/5=8/5=1.6. The blue ribbon was 1.6 meters long before it was cut.
B) 1.6*25/100=40/100=0.4
The length of the piece Linda cut off is 0.4 meters

Hector is flying a kite. He has let out 86 feet
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Hector's kite is 61.84 feet from the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation of the kite is 42°15’30” when converted to decimals, it is 42.258333^{0} ≅ 42.26^{0}

Let the height of the kite to the horizontal of angle of elevation be represented as x. Applying the trigonometric function to the sketch of Hector's kite,

Sin θ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenus}

Sin 42.26^{0} = \frac{x}{86}

⇒ x = 86 x Sin 42.26^{0}

      = 86 x 0.6725

     = 57.835

x ≅ 57.84 feet

The height of Hector's kite from the ground = x + 4

                                    = 57.84 + 4

                                   = 61.84 feet
