Answer:

74.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Hannah, the kite and Patricia form the vertices of a right-angled triangle with the hypotenuse side the length of the string L = 60 feet and adjacent side the distance between Hannah and Patricia = d = 16 feet.

Let the angle between the string and the sand be Ф.

By trigonometric ratios,

cosФ = adjacent/hypotenuse

= d/L

= 16 feet/60 feet

= 0.2667

Ф = cos⁻¹(0.2667)

= 74.53°

≅ 74.5°

So, he angle between the string and the sand is Ф = 74.5°

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Well it would be 100 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Because they had pizza every ten days and if you add 5 days a week that's 50 days they sell pizza. If your talking corn they sell it every 4 days times 5 days a week that's 20 days of corn. Then you do 50 x 20 and then you get 100 days of pizza and corn, so it would be 100 days before they sell pizza and corn together again!

Can somebody write me a 5 sentence paragraph summary about geometry ??
kotegsom [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometry is one of the oldest branches of math. Geometry is mostly about distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. It is related to  measurement, relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids. There are 8 types of Geometry and the basic concepts of Geometry are point, line and plane. It isn't possible to exactly define the terms, however, we know it is refers to the mark of the position and has an accurate location.

Need help with this please
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The third side is sqrt(77)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

2^2 + b^2 = 9^2

4+ b^2 = 81

Subtract 4 from each side

b^2 = 81-4

b^2=77

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(77)

b = sqrt(77)

The third side is sqrt(77)
