A kite on a 100 foot string has an angle of elevation of 18 degrees. The hand holding the string is 4 feet above the ground. How high above the ground is the kite?
It is a right-angled triangle ABC.
c = 100 foot
beta = 18°
b = c * sin beta
b = 100 foot * sin 18°
b = 30,902 foot
h = b + 4 foot = 30,902 foot + 4 foot
h = 34.902 foot
The kite is 34.902 foot above the ground.
