Question

Jaden is flying a kite with an angle of elevation of 33 degrees. If Jaden lets out 275 feet of string, how high above the ground is the kite flying? Round answers to the nearest tenth place.

Answer 1

Answer:

149.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

θ = Angle of elevation = 33°

The length of string Jaden lets out = Hypotenuse = 275 feet.

How high above the ground that the kite is flying = Opposite Side.

We are solving this question using the Trigonometric function of Sine

Sin θ = Opposite Side/Hypotenuse

Sin 33 = Opposite/275 feet

Cross Multiply

Sin 33 × 275 feet = Opposite

Opposite side(Height ) = 149.77573463 feet

Approximately to the nearest tenth = 149.8 feet
