The angle of elevation is 42 degrees from the ground to Sam's kite. He has let out 33 feet of string and tied the string to a stake in the ground. How high is the kite flying?
We need to use the sin for this
sin θ = opp / hyp
sin 42 = h / 33 where h is the height of the kite
33*sin 42 = h = 22.08 ft
