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°

The answer is 6 1/4, because if you making 1/2 = 2/4, 2 + 3 = 5, the 4 stays the same, so its 5 5/4, and to make it proper, you make it 6 1/4
