2) A kite in the air has its string tied to the ground, The length of the string is 50m. Find the
1 answer:
Answer: 40.96 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the trigonometric functions.
sin α = opposite side / hypotenuse
Where α is the angle of elevation of the string to the ground, the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle (in this case is the length of the string), and the opposite side (x) is the length of the kite above the ground
Replacing with the values given:
sin 55 = x/ 50
Solving for x
sin55 (50) =x
x= 40.96 m

First, convert that into a y=mx+b form.
Move the x to the other side so y is the only thing on the left. Since you moved it to the other side of the equal sign, be sure to make that number negative (the opposite sign)
Now… you have 4y=-3x+28
Let’s get y by itself. Since you’re multiplying 4 and y, you divide everything by 4 to get your y.
That leaves you with y=-3/4x+7.
We are looking at slope, which is your m in the y=mx+b form.
That is -3/4. The answer is the last square.
