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:
Δ PQT ~ Δ QRS .....{S-S-S test for similarity}...Proof is below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
In Δ PQT
PQ = 30 ft
QT = 28 ft
TP = 20 ft
In Δ QRS
QR = 15 ft
RS = 14 ft
SQ = 10 ft
To Prove:
Δ PQT ~ Δ QRS
Proof:
First we consider the ratio of the sides
..............( 1 )
..............( 2 )
..............( 3 )
So By equation ( 1 ), ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) we get
Now in Δ PQT and Δ QRS we have
Which are corresponding sides of a similar triangle in proportion.
∴ Δ PQT ~ Δ QRS .....{S-S-S test for similarity}...Proved

Step-by-step explanation:
The correct question is
Zena needs a salesperson. Salesperson A is offering his services for an initial $50 in addition to $5 per hour. salesperson B is offering her services for an initial $40 in addition to $7 per hour. When will the two coaches charge the same amount of money?
Let
x ----> the number of hours
y ----> the total charge
we know that
Salesperson A
------> equation A
Salesperson B
------> equation B
To find out when the two coaches charge the same amount of money, equate equation A and equation B and solve for x
7x+40=5x+50
7x-5x=50-40
2x=10
<h2>x=5 hours i think just im not sure but i tried</h2>
Answer:
Do it your self
Step-by-step explanation:
Gross
The measure of the third side must be less than the sum of the other two. That property is valid for all triangles.
For this question, call x the measure of the third side. So you must have
x < 4 + 3
x < 7 ft
The only option that satisfies the condition above is
option A) 5 ft.
I hope this helps. =)
