How to find the sides of a right angle triangle?

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

The kite released rope is the hypotenuse side of the triangle formed.

The opposite side of the triangle is the height of the kite from the ground.

Therefore,

sin 28 = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 28 = 75 / h

h = 75 / sin 28

h = 75 / 0.46947156278

h = 159.754085116

h ≈ 160 feet

Therefore, she won't be able to win the competition because the length of the rope is less than 162 feet.
