Answer:

38.6m

Step-by-step explanation:

Theory of solving angle of elevation problem bus to take it as a right angle triangle.

The length of the the rope is the hypotenuse and the angle formed is the hypotenuse angle.

To determine the height , we take the side as opposite the angle.

Sin (angle) = height/hypotenus

Sin40= height/60

0.6428 *60 = height

38.568 = height

Approximately 38.6m

Answer: 38.56 m  

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.

sin α = opposite side / hypotenuse

Where α is the angle of elevation of the kite to the ground, the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle (in this case is the length of the string), and the opposite side (c) is the length of the kite above the ground

Replacing with the values given:  

sin 40 = c/60

Solving for c

sin40 (60) =c

c= 38.56 m  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

1,12, 2,6 3,4

16

1,16 2,8 4,4

8

1,8 ,2,4

The highest factor they share is 4 so it would be the GCF. Then you would have to add the x back into the GCF

A block is set in motion hanging from a spring and oscillates about its resting position
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

t = 1.277 sec and t = 2.848 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is much more easily done by graphing it than by computing it using algebra.

The values of t we're looking for are the ones that make x = 0, so we want the solutions of 0.6sin(2t)+0.4cos(2t)=0 on the interval [0, 3].

According to the graph, this is true when t = 1.277 seconds and t = 2.848 seconds.
