Step-by-step explanation:

To find coordinates, we need the equation of the line segment with restrictions. I think you meant to say “line segment” as lines go infinitely in 2 directions and could not be broken up into ratios. Let’s say your segment is 24 feet long. You could then label AB as 5x and BC as x since that is a ratio of 5:1 …………We’d then have an equation

5x + x = 24 … or 6x = 24…..or x = 4 which would make AB = 20 and BC = 4…but this would not give us coordinates of points.

Hector is flying a kite. He has let out 86 feet

Kaylis [27]

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 $42.258333^{0}$ ≅ $42.26^{0}$

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 = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenus}$
