Answer:
58°
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle can be drawn to model the geometry of the problem. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of the string, 100 ft. The side opposite the angle is the height of the kite above the ground, 85 ft.
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between sides and angles.
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(α) = (85 ft)/(100 ft) = 0.85
The angle whose sine is 0.85 is found using the arcsine (inverse sine) function:
α = arcsin(0.85) ≈ 58.2°
The angle of elevation is about 58°.

When using your calculator to find the values of inverse trig functions, make sure it is in <em>degrees</em> mode. Otherwise, you're likely to get the answer in radians (≈ 1.01599 radians).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So the question here is asking you to use the quadratic formula which is expressed as: 
A quadratic can generally be expressed as: 
So using the equation you gave: 
We can identify the following values: a=1, b=-5, c=-1
Btw the equation explicitly write "1" as the coefficient of x, but since it's not provided it's implied that it's 1.
So plugging in the known values, we get the following equation:
The last step just consists of taking the + and - solution, and since it asks for exact solutions you leave the 29 under the radical, and you don't approximate. There is no further simplification that can be done here.
I did (450*3/4=337.5) to get how much each person would eat, then I did (337.5*14=4725g) to see how big the turkey should be. I then converted grams to kilos (4725*0.001=4.725 kg), and I got how big the turkey would be. It turns out the appropriate size of the turkey would be medium, so then what I did was that I looked for the medium price of the turkey per kg, and found that it was £5.99 per kg. I did (4.725*5.99) and I got about £28.30.
It would cost £28.30 for 14 people.
Answer:
Ea and St
Step-by-step explanation:
Ur gonna have to pick an equation and solve for a variable.
2x - 2y = 6
2x = 2y + 6 ...divide everything by 2 because u want x by itself
x = y + 3
now we sub y + 3 in for x in the other equation
14x - 2y = 78
14(y + 3) - 2y = 78...distribute thru the parenthesis
14y + 42 - 2y = 78...subtract 42 from both sides, cancelling the 42 on the left
-42 -42
-----------------------
14y - 2y = 36 ...simplify
12y = 36...divide by 12 on both sides, cancelling out the 12 on the left
y = 36/12
y = 3
now , we already know that x = y + 3...and we know y = 3...so sub in 3 for y and solve for x
x = y + 3
x = 3 + 3
x = 6
solution is (6,3)
it is always a good idea to check ur answer by subbing it into one or both of the equations to see if it is correct
2x - 2y = 6......(6,3)...x = 6 and y = 3
2(6) - 2(3) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 (correct)
so yes, ur solution is (6,3)
