Question

dana is flying a kite whose string is 65 meters long and makes a 70 degree angle with the ground. How far is the kite above the ground?

Here you would want to use the sine function, since it’s making a triangle with the ground, and length of the string, the height to the kite. This can be found by 65sin(70°) which is ≈ 61.08 meters
