Question

Mr. V went flying a kite. The angle of elevation of the string with the ground is 55

degrees. If the kite is 25 m above ground, how long is the string the kite is on?

Answer 1

Length of string = 30.52 m (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of elevation = 55°

Height of kite = 25 m

Find:

Length of string

Computation:

Sin 55 = Height of kite / Length of string

0.8191 = 25 / Length of string

Length of string = 25 / 0.8191

Length of string = 30.52 m (Approx)
