Help plz 13. Mildred is flying a kite on a 30 m string. The angle of elevation of the kite measures 40 degrees, and Mildred's hand is 2 m above the ground. About how high is the kite off the ground?
a. 21.3 m
c. 19.3 m
b. 25 m
d. 23 m

21.3m

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the kite of the ground would be calculated as:

We have to calculate the question using a right angled triangle that has angle ACB as 90° while angle CAB will be 40°.

Therefore, the height of the kite would be:

= 30 sin 40 + 2

= 30 (0.6428 ) + 2

= 19.284 + 2

= 21.284 m

= 21.3 m

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).

the answer is d

the answer is in the first quadrant, which make the y-int positive.

since the dots are going down, therefore the correlation is negative

i hope it is right.
