Question

Sheila is flying a kite with a string that makes a 59-degree angle with

Answer 1

Answer:

113.16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Representing the given details appropriately with a right angle triangle. Let the length of the string for the kite be represented by x. Applying required trigonometric function, we have:

Sin θ = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

Sin $59^{o}$ = $\frac{97}{x}$

x = $\frac{97}{Sin59^{o} }$

  = $\frac{97}{0.8572}$

  = 113.1591

x = 113.16 feet

Thus, the string for the kite is 113.16 feet long.
