Question

A kite is currently flying at an altitude of 90 meters above the ground. If the angle of elevation from the ground to the is 33°, by the length of the kite string to the nearest meter.
a.35meters
b.23meters
c.10meters
d.29meters

Answer 1

the necessary trig ratio is sin(theta) = opposite/hypotenuse, since we have the length of the side opposite to the angle, and we want to find the hypotenuse

sin(33) = 90/(length of string)

Answer 2
