Answer:

x = 47.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

cos theta = adj / hyp

cos x = 8.8 / 13

Take the inverse cos of each side

cos ^-1 ( cos x) = cos ^-1( 8.8 /13)

x = cos ^-1( 8.8 /13)

x =47.39633319

Rounding to the nearest tenth

x =47.4

Answer:

36.9 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

using SOHCAHTOA we can see that we need to use cos because the sides that are given are the adjacent side and the hypotenuse so u have to divide the adjacent by the hypotenuse which is 8.8/13 and you should get 0.8 after you round to the nearest tenth and then you use your calculator to do cos^-1 (0.8) and you get 36.9 after you round to the nearest tenth of a degree

A kite is stuck in a 36-ft tree. If the angle of elevation from the kite and the ground is 12, find the length of the kite.

Answer:

173.15 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let L be the length of kite.

We have been given that a kite is stuck in 36-ft tree. The angle of elevation from the kite and the ground is 12.

We can see from our attachment that kite and tree form a right triangle. height of tree is opposite of angle of elevation and length of kite is hypotenuse.

Since we know that Sine relates the opposite and hypotenuse of a right triangle, so we will use sine to find the length of kite.

$sin(12)=\frac{36}{L}$
