The string of a kite is 120 m long and makes an angle of 70° with the horizontal. What is the height of the kite? show work!
1 answer:
The height of the kite is approximately 112.763 meters above the ground.
<h3>How to determine the height of a kite above the ground</h3>
The situation is represented by the following geometric diagram, a right triangle with a known hypotenuse (r), in meters, and a known acute angle (θ), in degrees. The height of the kite (h), in meters, is represented by the leg opposite to the acute angle and can be found by trigonometric functions:
sin θ = h / r
h = r · sin θ
h = 120 · sin 70°
h ≈ 112.763 m
The height of the kite is approximately 112.763 meters.
