Sighting from Paula's location and the 42-degree angle, the height of the glider is the "opp side" of a triangle whose hypotenuse is 3280 ft.

The sine function best brings together the info we have and want:

sin 42 degrees = opp / hyp = height / 3280 ft.

Mult. both sides of this equation by 3280 ft, we get height = 2195 ft.

hi here is what  I got

opposite the angle (42)

Using trigonometric ratios:

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Sin(42) = Opposite/3280

Cross multiply

Opposite = sin(42) x 3280

Opposite = 2194.7 feet (1 decimal place)

It would be 15 because the way you would set it up is equal to 180 because they are opposite and they have to add up to 180 in order for the whole shape to be 360. so 3x+9x=180 and then 12x=180 and divide 180 by 12 which is 15 and you can also plug in 15 to check

1. Consider the figure below where ZV is parallel to WY.
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Part A:

m∠VHT = 152°

Part B:

m∠QTS = 152°

Part C:

m∠ZHQ = 28°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The given parameters are;

m∠HXU = 113°

Segment BQ and segment UD intersect at m∠XAT = 95°

We have that m∠HXU + m∠HXS = 180° (Angles on a straight line)

Therefore;

m∠HXU  = 180° - m∠HXS = 180° - 113° = 67°

m∠HXU = 67°

m∠XAT + m∠XAH = 180° (Angles on a straight line)

m∠XAH  = 180° - m∠XAT = 180° - 95° = 85°

m∠XAH = 85°

In triangle XAH, we have;

m∠XAH + m∠HXU + m∠XHA = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)

∴ m∠XHA = 180° - (m∠XAH + m∠HXU) = 180° - (85° + 67°) = 28°

m∠XHA = 28°

m∠VHT + m∠XHA = 180° (Angles on a straight line)

m∠VHT  = 180° - m∠XHA = 180° - 28° = 152°

m∠VHT = 152°

Part B:

m∠QTS ≅ m∠VHT (Corresponding angles are congruent)

∴ m∠QTS = 152° (Substitution property)

Part C:

m∠ZHQ ≅ m∠XHA  (Reflexive property)

∴ m∠ZHQ = 28°.
