A kite is flying 70 feet above the ground and is attached to a string tied to a stake on the ground. The angle of elevation formed by the string and the ground is 40°. Find the length of the string to the nearest foot.

Sine(40)=70/Hypotenuse

0.64278760=70/H cross multiply

0.64278760H=70 divide both sides by 0.64278760

H=108.90 feet- Length of the string.
