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 answer is y < -3 or   y > 3

-3y > 7 + 2

-3 y > 9

y < -3

it is contrapositive

i could not see the question too well so check yourself again too . this is because i want you to get it correct.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
