Chapter 3: Multiple Linear Regression
For this, we can set up a proportion.
Their aim was 15000, so if they raised 100% of their goal, they wouldve raised exactly 15000.
They raised 557%, so how much did they make?
Proportion:
$15000 100%
$x 557%
Our expression would be x=$15000*557% divided by 100%, which would be $83550, so... a lot of money.
(we did an “x” formation with the proportion, ie “connected” x with 100, and “connected” 15k and 557. The number connecting to x is what we divide the equation by, and the other two are multiplied and then divided by the first number connecting to x. Otherwise we couldve calculated 557% of 15000 and gotten the same result. Whichever way is easier for you :) )
Answer:
We can think that the line of the kite is the hypotenuse of a triangle rectangle, and the altitude is one of the cathetus of the triangle.
And we know that it makes an angle of 65° with the horizontal (i guess this is measured between the hypotenuse and the horizontal adjacent to the kite.
This angle is complementary to the top angle of our triangle rectangle, such that A + 65° = 90°
A = 90° - 65° = 25°
Then the altitude of the kite is the adjacent cathetus to this angle.
We can use the relation:
sin(A) = Adjacent cathetus/hypotenuse.
Sin(25°) = X/350ft
Sin(25°)*350ft = X = 147.9m
