Question

Mark is flying a kite and realizes that 300 feet of string is out. Mark anchored the kite to the ground. The angle of the string with the ground is 42.5∘. How high is Mark's kite above the ground? Find your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

The kite is 202.7 feet above the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario is depictedd in the picture attached

we have to find the height.

Trigonometric ratios will be used to find the height.

So,

$sin\ (42.5) = \frac{h}{300}\\ 0.6756=\frac{h}{300}\\0.6756*300=h\\202.68 = h$

The height is 202.68 feet

Rounding off to the nearest tenth

202.7 feet

Therefore, the kite is 202.7 feet above the ground ..
