And can you explain what you did. you. paula spots a glider located at an angle of elevation of 42°. the distance between the glider and paula is 3280 feet. to the nearest foot, what is the height of the glider h from the ground? show your work.

Sighting from Paula's location and the 42-degree angle, the height of the glider is the "opp side" of a triangle whose hypotenuse is 3280 ft.

The sine function best brings together the info we have and want:

sin 42 degrees = opp / hyp = height / 3280 ft.

Mult. both sides of this equation by 3280 ft, we get height = 2195 ft.

c. 65°

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a triangle with two known angles, 62° and 53°, while the third angle x is unknown and we are to find its value.

we know that the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to a total of 180 degrees. so we can write it as:

x + 62° + 53° = 180°

solving to find the value of x:

x = 180 - (62 + 53) = 65°

therefore, the value of x in this triangle is 65°.
