Quinn is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 46°, and the kite string forms a straight segment that is 80 feet long.Explain how to find the distance between the ground and the kite. Include a description of the triangle you drew to help you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. Round your answer to the nearest foot. sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenusesin(46°) = y/80y = 80sin(46°)plug this in you calculator to get y = 58 feet
Answer:
x = 5
, −
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the rational equation by combining expressions and isolating the variable x
.
This is one pathway to prove the identity.
Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

As the steps above show, the goal is to get both sides be the same identical expression. You should only work with one side to transform it into the other. In this case, the left side transforms while the right side stays fixed the entire time. The general rule is that you should convert the more complicated expression into a simpler form.
We use other previously established or proven trig identities to work through the steps. For example, I used the pythagorean identity
in the second to last step. I broke the steps into three parts to hopefully make it more manageable.
