Quinn is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 46°, and the kite string forms a straight segment that is 80 feet long.Explain how to find the distance between the ground and the kite. Include a description of the triangle you drew to help you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. Round your answer to the nearest foot. sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenusesin(46°) = y/80y = 80sin(46°)plug this in you calculator to get y = 58 feet
Answer:
137
Step-by-step explanation:
First start with what you know. The measure of the interior angles of a triangle total to
so 51 + 2x + x = 180, then 51 + 3x = 180, 3x = 129, so
x = 43, the exterior angle is on a straight line with x so
x + exterior angle = 180 [since they are supplementary], since x = 43 then
43 + e = 180, so e has to be 137
We know the cofunction identity

.
Thus, the tangent of 90° minus <span>θ also equals
