Answer: The angle is 33 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram.

In the attached diagram, point K is the position of the kite. Point J is Jaden’s position, while the ground directly below the kite is point G.

From the information given, Jaden lets off 275 feet of string represented by line JK, and the kite is 150 feet above the ground which is represented by line GK.

With the available information we have a right angled triangle KJG. The question requires us to find the angle the string makes with the ground, which is represented by angle J. Using J as the reference angle, we can see that line KG is the opposite and line JK is the hypotenuse. Having the opposite and hypotenuse we can use the trigonometric ratio of Sine of angles.

Therefore,

Sin J = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Sin J = 150/275

Sin J = 0.5454

Checking with a calculator or a table of values, we now have

J = 33.05

Approximately that is 33 degrees

Varvara68 [4.7K]

The pyramid is shown in the diagram below.
The pyramid is built from four congruent triangles and one square as the base

We have the side of the square, so the area is = 10×10 = 100

We need the height of the triangle to work out its area. We can find out by using the height of the pyramid and half of the length of the side of the square.

Using the Pythagoras rule
Height of triangle = $\sqrt{12^{2}+ 5^{2} } =13$

Area of one triangle = 1/2×10×12=60
Surface area of the pyramid = 100 + (4×60) = 340 square inches

Simplify the expression, only odds 9-17

Elodia [21]

All exercises involve the same concept, so I'll show you how to do the first, then you can apply the exact same logic to all the others.

The first thing you need to know is that, when a certain quantity multiplies a parenthesis, you can distribute that number to every element in the parenthesis. This means that

$a(b+c) = ab+ac$

So, $a$ is multiplying the parenthesis involving $b$ and $c$ , and we distributed it: $a$ multiplies both $b$ and $c$ in the final result.

Secondly, you have to know how to recognize like terms, because they are the only terms you can sum. Two terms can be summed if they have the same literal expression. So, for example, you cannot sum $3x+2y$ , and neither $5x^2-4x$ exponents count.
