Answer:

The correct answer is 61.08 foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the string of the kite, Mr. Black is flying is 65 foot. Thus the length between the kite and Mr. Black is given by 65 foot.

Angle of elevation is 70°.

We need to calculate the height of the kite above Mr. Black's head. The height is given by finding the sine of the angle of elevation.

Let the height be x foot.

Thus sin 70° = \frac{x}{65}

⇒ x = sin 70° × 65

⇒ x = 61.08

Thus the height of the kite above Mr. Black head is 61.08 foot.

Okay lets go down the list. It's not right since 20²+99²=10201 √10201=101 and you said a is wrong it's have to be B. obtuse

To get the x and the y
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

x = 16

y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

the left part of the triangle can be solved first as it already has one angle and 1 side, we use trigonometry for this.

since we have 2 sides and 1 angle, to find the third side length we use the pythagoras theorem. a² + b² = c²

; 9² + 12² = c²

; 225 = c²

;√225 = c

; 15 = c

since we have all the lengths of the triangle, we can find out the angle opposite to the side length '9',

; \frac{Sin x}{9} = \frac{sin90}{15}

; \frac{Sin 90}{15} x 9 = Sinx

36.86 = x

now, we look at the triangle as a whole, the top angle being 90 degrees, we know that we have 36.86.

; 90 - 36.86 = 53.13

\frac{y}{Sin 90} = \frac{12}{Sin 36.86}

; \frac{12}{sin 36.86} x Sin 90 = 20

y = 20

again, since we have 2 sides of a right angled triangle we use a² + b² = c²

we arrange this formula since we have the hypotenuse

; 20² - 12² = 256

; √256 = x

; 16  = x
