Question

A kite is flying 17 feet above ground on a string that is 25 feet long. What's the angle formed by the kite string and the ground? 47.16 34.22 42.840 40.22

Answer 1

θ≈42.84

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\theta = 34.22^o`

Explanation:

Given

`Height = 17`

`Length = 25`

Required

The angle formed with the ground

To do this, we make use of the following:

`\tan(\theta) = (Height)/(Length)`

Where:

`\theta \to` angle formed with the ground

So, we have:

`\tan(\theta) = (17)/(25)`

`\tan(\theta) = 0.68`

Take arctan of both sides

`\theta = \tan^(-1)(0.68)`

`\theta = 34.22^o`
