An observer (O) is located 400 feet from a building (B). The observer notices a kite (K) flying at a 29° angle of elevation from his line of sight. How high is the kite flying over the building? You must show all work and calculations to receive full credit.

heylo
here, we have the opposite side and adjacent side, do you know whcih of the trigonometric equations we can use for this?
Tangent
rightttttttt so how would you set of the equationn
tan(theta)=opposite/adjacent
tan(29)=h / 400
Maybe?
yeppiiiiiiiiiiii
yaayy
so then just put it into a calculator :) 400 (tan29)
Ohh okk
Ok so it went like 400 (tan(29)) is that it?
yepppppp
So 221.72
In feet
yes :)
Yaay thank you so much!
:))
I finally submitted this, its been open for days
that's nice
Now on to suffering with the rest of my assignments, have a great day!
