Answer:

<h2><em>46.4°</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagrammatic representation in the attachment given.

We can see that the diagram is a right angled triangle. To get the angle of elevation, we will use one of the trigonometry identity SOH, CAH, TOA.

Given the adjacent of the triangle to be 2miles (observation spot from the point of launch)and the opposite (side facing the elevation angle) as 2.1miles (the height), we will use TOA.

tan∅ = opposite/adjacent

tan∅ = 2.1/2

tan∅  = 1.05

∅ = tan⁻¹1.05

∅ = 46.4°

<em>Hence the angle of elevation from Kim to the space shuttle, which is at a height of 2.1 miles is approximately 46.4°</em>

Answer:

Area = 15.36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the dotted line triangle using the formula: base x height x 1/2, which would be 1.2ft x 12.8 x 1/2 = 7.68ft.

Next, add another triangle at the top, mirroring the shown triangle, of the parallelogram.

Then, find the area of the shape as though it were a rectangle. (base x height) - 2.4 x 12.8 = 30.72.

Next, multiply the area of the invisible triangle by 2, 7.68 x 2 = 15.36ft

and Finally, subtract the area of the rectangle shape of the the sum of the two invisible triangles, 30.72 - 15.36 = 15.36ft

The area of the parallelogram is 15.36 ft.
