+290 A student lets out 30 meter of string on a kite from a hand height of 1 meter. The angle between horizontal hand height and the kite is 25º. Find the height of the kite above the ground, to the nearest meter.
+37159 30 m is the hypotenuse of a right triangle
sin = opposite leg / hypotenuse
sin 25 = height / 30
30 sin 25 = 12. 67 m but you have to add the one meter hand height for a total = ~ 14 m
