You have a right triangle situation here, and what you are looking for is the length of the hypotenuse. The leg perpendicular to the ground is 100, and the base angle that is NOT the right angle, is 65. So your equation is set up like this: sin 65 = 100/x. Rearrange that a bit to get x alone: x = 100/ sin 65. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode and solve for x. x = 110.34 feet of string.
Answer:
45!
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the magnitude of a vector, take the components, square them, then add them, then take the square root. This is very similar to the Pythagorean Theorem.
For your particular problem, I’ve included a picture showing how that specific calculation is done. :)
