Question

Kite is flying 78 ft off the ground, and its string is pulled taut. The angle of elevation of the kite is 65º. Find the length of the string. Round your answer to
the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

hope it helps!

Answer:

107.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine Kite is a point A. The person ,who keeps the string is point B.

The height of flying is AC=85 ft.  So we have right triangle ABC :angle C=90 degrees, angle B is 52 degrees. Length of AB (triangle ABC hypotenuse) is the length of the string.

AB=AC/sinB=85/sin52=107.8665...=approx 107.9 ft
