Question

A kite flying 90 off the ground and it’s string

Answer 1

To find the length of the string we need to remember that in any right triangle:

`\sin \theta=\frac{\text{opp}}{\text{hyp}}`

In this case the angle is 48°, the opposite leg is 90 and the hypotenuse will be the length of the string then we have that:

`\begin{gathered} \sin 48=\frac{90}{\text{hyp}} \\ \text{hyp}=(90)/(\sin 48) \\ \text{hyp}=121.1 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the length of the string is 121.1 ft
