Answer:

45.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, the kite string represents the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

We need to solve for the horizontal distance, which will be the long leg of the triangle.

Use the cosine ratio (adjacent over hypotenuse), since we are given the hypotenuse and are solving for the adjacent leg.

Let x represent the horizontal distance:

cos 55 = \frac{x}{80}

(80) (cos 55) = x

45.9 = x

So, the horizontal distance is approximately 45.9 feet

The ratio of length to width (measured in inches) in a rectangle is 4∶7. find the length of the rectangle if the area is known t
Len [333]
Hey mate
here is your answer

length and width are given in the ratio are ;(4:7)
area of rectangle = (l×b)
therefore,
4x×7x=700
28x^2=700
x^2=700/28
x^2=25
x=5
length =4x=4×5=20, lenght =20 and width =7x so, 7×5=35 width.....
