If a kite is 40 feet off the ground and the string holding the kite is 42 feet long, what is the angle of elevation to the kite

1 answer:

3 0

In this case, 40ft is the vertical distance from the ground, which is the height. This means that the kite and the string form an angle with the horizontal ground. A right angled triangle is formed. Use the inverse of sine to get the angle.

The exact value of cos5pi/12 is:

jonny [76]

Step 1: Convert $\frac{5\pi }{12}$ , which is in radians into degrees. To convert it multiply by $\frac{180}{\pi }$

$\frac{5\pi }{12} =\frac{180}{\pi }$

900/12

Step 2: 75 degrees isn't on the unit circle but 45 degrees and 30 degrees is. Since 45 + 30 = 75 you can use the cosine of 45 and 30 to find the exact value

cos45 = $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$
