Brian's kite is flying above a field at the end of a 68m string.If the angle of elevation to the kite measures 70 degrees,how hi
gh is the kite above Brian's head?
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Angle of elevation = 70°
Length of string = 68 m
We need to find the height of the kite.
Solution:
Requirement figure attached in file.
Where:
BC = 68 m
AC = h (Height of the kite)
∠ABC = 70°
Using Cosine rule to find the height of the kite.
Therefore, height of the kite from Brian's head .

We have been given that a company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. We are asked to find the number of candles that company can make from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.
To solve our given problem, we will divide total volume of wax by volume of one candle.
Volume of each candle will be equal to volume of sphere.
, where r represents radius of sphere.
We know that radius is half the diameter, so radius of each candle will be cm.
Now we will divide 70,650 cubic cm of wax by volume of one candle.
Therefore, 40 candles can be made from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.
