Quinn is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 46°, and the kite string forms a straight segment that is 80 feet long. Explain how to find the distance between the ground and the kite. Include a description of the triangle you drew to help you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. Round your answer to the nearest foot.

sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse sin(46°) = y/80 y = 80sin(46°) plug this in you calculator to get y = 58 feet

right here

It's not 58 o-O if you \[\sin(46) = \frac {x}{80} ~~~x=\sin(46)80 \approx 72\]
