4x/15 = 60/x

4x² = 60 * 15

x² = 60 * 15 / 4 = 15 * 15 = 225

x = 15, -15

Hope it helps!

A kite is stuck in a 36-ft tree. If the angle of elevation from the kite and the ground is 12, find the length of the kite.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

173.15 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let L be the length of kite.

We have been given that a kite is stuck in 36-ft tree. The angle of elevation from the kite and the ground is 12.

We can see from our attachment that kite and tree form a right triangle. height of tree is opposite of angle of elevation and length of kite is hypotenuse.

Since we know that Sine relates the opposite and hypotenuse of a right triangle, so we will use sine to find the length of kite.

$sin(12)=\frac{36}{L}$

$L=\frac{36}{sin(12)}$

$L=\frac{36}{0.207911690818}$

$L=173.1504364105882792\approx 173.15$

Therefore, the length of kite is 173.15 ft.

A tree was 5 feet tall. One year later, the tree was 13 feet tall. Write an equation and use mental math to find how many feet f

Just minus 5 feet from the new height which is 13ft, and the equation will be 13-5, and therefore the tree grew 8 feet
