Answer:

Height of the kite is =50 \sqrt{3} meters.

Ground distance from the kite to the person flying the kite is 50 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a string of a kite is 100 meters long and it makes an angle of 60° with horizontal.

Which mans we are getting a shape of right angle triangle as shown in picture. Where "y" is the height of the kite and "x" is the ground distance from the kite to the person flying the kite. Now we can use trigonometric ratios to find the values of x and y.


\sin\left(60^o\right)=\frac{\left[opposite\right]}{\left[hypotenuse\right]}=\frac{y}{100}

\sin\left(60^o\right)=\frac{y}{100}

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{y}{100}

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}*100=y

50 \sqrt{3}=y

Hence height of the kite is =50 \sqrt{3} meters.


similarly:


\cos\left(60^o\right)=\frac{\left[adjcent\right]}{\left[hypotenuse\right]}=\frac{x}{100}

\cos\left(60^o\right)=\frac{x}{100}

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{100}

\frac{1}{2}*100=x

50=x

Hence ground distance from the kite to the person flying the kite is 50 meters.

X=21

If the triangle are similar then you can divide.
75 divided by 25 is 3
72 divided by 21 is 3
so that means if you take 7 times 3 you will get 21

Find the value of X. Then find the measure of each labeled angle.
wariber [46]
Both angles WILL have the same measure.

So,

3x-10= x+40 (you have to set the equations equal to one another)


Now, add 10 to both sides.

3x=x+50

Subtract x on both sides.

2x=50

Divide both sides by 2.

x=25

Now, plug in x.

(25 +40)= 65

(3(25)-10)= 65

x equals 25 and both angles are equal to 65. Or "B".

I hope this helps!

Calculate the variance for the data set. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Show all of your steps. { 10 , 19 , 21 , 28
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Variance of the given data = 31.143

Explanation:

  Variance, \sigma^2=\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i-\mu)^2, where n is the number of observations, μ is the mean and x_i is the observations made.

   Number of observations, n = 7

   Mean, μ = \frac{10+19+21+28+12+20+16}{7} = 18

   \sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i-\mu)^2=(10-18)^2+(19-18)^2+(21-18)^2+(28-18)^2+(12-18)^2+(20-18)^2+(16-18)^2\\ \\ \sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i-\mu)^2=64+1+9+100+36+4+4=218

  \sigma^2=\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i-\mu)^2=\frac{218}{7} =31.143

  So variance of the given data = 31.143
