Answer:

The measure of the angle between the kite string and the ground is 72.54°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A kite with a 100 foot-long string is caught in a tree. When the full length of the string is stretched in a straight line to the ground, it touches the ground a distance of 30 feet from the bottom of the tree.

To find : The measure of the angle between the kite string and the ground.

Solution :

Refer the attached figure.

In a right angle ΔABC,

A kite with a 100 foot-long string is caught in a tree.

i.e, AC=100 ft.

Length of the string touches the ground a distance of 30 feet from the bottom of the tree.

i.e, BC=30 ft.

We have to find the angle C between the kite string and the ground.

Apply trigonometric function,

\cos\theta=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

\cos\theta=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{AC}}

\cos\theta=\frac{30}{100}

\cos\theta=0.3

\theta=\cos^{-1}(0.3)

\theta=72.54^\circ

Therefore, The measure of the angle between the kite string and the ground is 72.54°.

Hyp=100,adj side=30

angle=cos^{-1}(30/100)

Keep your mom, you only have one. But anyway;

Use the Pythagorean Theorem: A^2 + B^2 = C^2

12^2 + 21^2 = C^2

144 + 441 = C^2

585 = C^2

square root of 585 = approximately 24.2
