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.

The distance between the ground and the kite is 58 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

I know this one is an -essay test-, so I won't do the explaining, sorry.

I'll just give some pointers:

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5

x=-7

step-by-step explanation:

x+3=-10

-10+3=-7

x=-7
