You are holding a kite string in your hand. The angle of elevation from your hand to the kite is 66 degrees and the distance to the kite is 500 feet. Your hand is 3 feet above the ground. How high is the kite? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

25/14 or 1.

step-by-step explanation:

the dots mean that it has infinitely more numbers behind it
