hope it helps!

Answer:

107.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine Kite is a point A. The person ,who keeps the string is point B.

The height of flying is AC=85 ft.  So we have right triangle ABC :angle C=90 degrees, angle B is 52 degrees. Length of AB (triangle ABC hypotenuse) is the length of the string.

AB=AC/sinB=85/sin52=107.8665...=approx 107.9 ft

what do you think the sum of the probabilities for all the possible outcomes must be for any situation. explain
raketka [301]
Let's pose this question a different way: what are the chances that one out of all possible events is going to happen? What are the chances that, if I roll a die, I will roll a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or a 6? What is the probability, if I flip a coin, that the outcome will either be heads or tails? When we take every possible outcome and add their probabilities together, the sum of the probabilities will be 100%, or 1.

Example:
Coin Toss:
Prob of Heads (.5) plus Prob of Tails (.5) = 1
Dice roll: 
1/6 (odds of rolling any given number) times 6 (number of possibilities) = 1

A triangle has one leg that measures 14 feet and the hypotenuse is 50 feet. What is the length of the other leg?
Aliun [14]
Ok so we are using the Pythagorean theorem so were gonna do A^2 + B^2 = C^2

It don't say which leg we have so you can use either a or b.
Which would get us 14^2 + B^2 = 50^2
14*14 =196 , 50 *50 =2500
Then we have to  subtract the two.
So 2500 - 196 = 2,304
Then you take the take the square root of that answer and you have your other leg. 
The square root of 2,304 is 48
So the missing leg = 48
