Question

A kite is flying 99 ft off the ground, and it's strong is pulled taut. The angle of elevation of the kite is 41°. Find the length of the string. Around your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

the length of the string=150.9

Explanation:

height of a kite=99 ft

angle of elevation =41

use formula

sin 41= opposite/hypotenuse( opp is the elevation, hypotenuse is the string)

sin 41 = 99/hyp.

hyp.=99/sin41

hyp= (99)/(0.65605902)

hyp.=150.9( rounded to the nearest tenth)
