Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the lines of hypotenuse are parallel,the triangles are similar
20/8 = x/18
cross multiplication
8x = 20x18
8x=360
x=45
15000 miles long. So length times width
Answer:
We can think that the line of the kite is the hypotenuse of a triangle rectangle, and the altitude is one of the cathetus of the triangle.
And we know that it makes an angle of 65° with the horizontal (i guess this is measured between the hypotenuse and the horizontal adjacent to the kite.
This angle is complementary to the top angle of our triangle rectangle, such that A + 65° = 90°
A = 90° - 65° = 25°
Then the altitude of the kite is the adjacent cathetus to this angle.
We can use the relation:
sin(A) = Adjacent cathetus/hypotenuse.
Sin(25°) = X/350ft
Sin(25°)*350ft = X = 147.9m
143.44 degrees
Hope this helps (:
