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 you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. round your answer to the nearest foot.

answer:

the required distance = 58 feet to the nearest foot.

step-by-step explanation:

we have a right angled triangle formed by the   kite string ( the hypotenuse) and the legs are the height   of the kite above the ground and the ground itself.

the distance between the ground and the kite = x feet = the side opposite the angle of 46 degrees.

sin 46 = opposite side / hypotenuse = x / 80

x = 80 * sin 36

= 57.547 feet

=   58 feet.

answer: it's upside down and i can't read it

step-by-step explanation:

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)
