Answer: x-coordinate: 4

y-coordinate: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of linear equations:

y= x- 6 ..(i)

5x+3y = 14 ...(ii)

Substitute value of y in (ii), we get

$5x +3(x-6)=14\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5x+3x-18=14\\\\\Rightarrow \ 8x=14+18\\\\\Rightarrow\ 8x=32\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=4$

Put value of x in (i) , we get

$y=4-6=-2$

Hence, Required solution:

x-coordinate: 4

y-coordinate: -2

Given you or a person holding a kite string 100 feet long write and draw what the height or altitude the kite is off the ground

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: $75.47\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

String of the kite is $l=100\ ft$

Angle of elevation $\theta=49^{\circ}$

suppose altitude of the kite is h

from the figure, we can write

$\Rightarrow \sin 49^{\circ}=\dfrac{h}{100}\\\\\Rightarrow h=100\sin 49^{\circ}\\\\\Rightarrow h=75.47\ ft$

Thus, the altitude of the kite is $75.47\ ft$
