Miranda is flying a kite on a 50-yard string, which makes a 50 degree angle with the ground. How high above the ground is the kite?

We can use the sine function to model this

 

sin(50) = H / 50       where H is the height    ...   multiply both sides by 50

 

50*sin(50) = H  = about 38.3 ft

 

 

 

cool cool cool
