Question

A kite is attached to a point on the ground with some string. The kite string is 75 feet

long. If the angle that the kite string makes with the ground is 35º, how far above
the ground is the kite? Round to the nearest hunderedth.

Answer 1

`sin = (opp)/(hyp)`

`\sin(35) = (opp)/(75)`

`opp = 75 \sin(35)`

`opp = 43.0182327263 \: feet`

The kite is 43.02 feet above the ground
