Question

Find the altitude of a kite where 120 feet of string makes a 64 degree angle to the ground

Answer 1

107.86 to 2 d.p.

Explanation:

makes a triangle. 120 feet is the hypotenuse.

we want to find the opposite so we will use sine.

sin(x) = opp/hyp which means opp = sin(x)hyp.

opp = sin(64)120

opp = 107.86 to 2d.p.
