Answer:

  50√3 ≈ 86.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle with the height of the kite being the leg opposite the 60° angle. The hypotenuse has the given length of 100 m.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the relation between angles and the sides of interest here is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(60°) = (kite height)/(100 m)

  kite height = (100 m)·sin(60°) = (100 m)(√3)/2

  kite height = 50√3 m ≈ 86.6 m

So to set up the equation we have: <span><span><span>4M</span><span>4+M</span></span>=<span>127</span></span>
<span>28M=12(4+M)</span>
<span>28M=48+12M</span>
<span>28K−12M=48</span>
<span>(28−12)M=48</span>
<span>16K=48</span>
<span>M=<span>4816</span></span>
<span>M=3</span> So Marna can clean the chimney alone in 3 hours

I think that it is C: PQR~XY by AA because there are only two angles that you are given ;the boxes represent 90, so each box has 90 and 62.
