Mathematics

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

6x + 15xy<br> Looking For Factor
padilas [110]

Answer:

x(6 + 15y)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this instance, you can divide by a factor of x.

6x/x = 6

15xy/x = 15y

Therefore, we are left with 6 + 15y.

The graph shows how the length of a buildings shadow at a certain time of day is related to the height of the building.
Artyom0805 [142]
A. the graph represents a relation because it contains ordered pairs (x,y). It is also a function because there are no repeating x values.

B. (0,0) (8,6)
slope = (6 - 0 ) / (8 - 0) = 6/8 = 3/4
so ur equation is : y = 3/4x or f(x) = 3/4x <===

C. the variable x represents the height of the building and the variable y (or f(x)) represents the total length of the shadow
