Question

If the string forms a straight line, how high is the kite above the ground?

Answer 1

102.44 feet

Explanation:

This kite and its height forms a right triangle. In a right triangle, the sine of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse, which in this case is 130 feet. Therefore:

`\sin 52= (x)/(130)`

`x=\sin 52 * 130\approx 102.44` feet. Hope this helps!
