You are flying a kite and want to know its angle of elevation. The string on the kite is 39 meters long and the kite is level with the top of a building that you know is 24 meters high. Find the angle of elevation of the kite .a.58.392
b.37.980
c.31.608
d.52.020

The correct option is (b).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of the string = 39 m

The kite is level with the top of a building that is 24 meters high.

We need to find the angle of elevation of the kite.

A right-angled triangle will form such that its hypotenuse is 39 m and height is 24 m. Using trigonometry to solve this.

So, the angle of elevation of the kite is 37.97°. The correct option is (b).

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
