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.

answer:

57.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

i believe the answer is the polygon, heptagon.
