Answer:
Hector's kite is 61.84 feet from the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of elevation of the kite is 42°15’30” when converted to decimals, it is ≅
Let the height of the kite to the horizontal of angle of elevation be represented as x. Applying the trigonometric function to the sketch of Hector's kite,
Sin θ =
Sin =
⇒ x = 86 x Sin
= 86 x 0.6725
= 57.835
x ≅ 57.84 feet
The height of Hector's kite from the ground = x + 4
= 57.84 + 4
= 61.84 feet
Answer: the answer is -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The pythagorean theorem states that the sum of the squares of two legs of a right triangle is equivalent to the hypotenuse.
So:
35^2 + b^2 = 40^2
1225 + b^2 = 1600
b^2 = 375
b =
b = 19.3649
