A kite is tethered to a stake in the ground by a string 40 ft. long, which makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground. how high is the kite?

anonymous · Answer

sure since no one helps me then yhea

jose_alamo32 · Answer

thats mess up :( but thank you :)

anonymous · Answer

Draw a right triangle with hypotenuse = 40 ft and base angle = 60°. 
sin(60°) = height/40 
solve for height 
::::: 
cos(60°) = base/40 
solve for base

hey thats life

anonymous · Answer

and i hope i helped with the 2 one

anonymous · Answer

height = 40sin(60)
h = 40(sqrt(3))/2
h = 20*sqrt(3)
h = 34.64.. ft
