Mamadou is flying a kite, holding his hands a distance of 2.75 feet above the ground and letting all the kite’s string play out. He measures the angle of elevation from his hand to the kite to be 27 If the string from the kite to his hand is 75 feet long, how many feet is the kite above the ground? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessary.

the correct answer is 5 6 and 7

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
