a person is flying a kite while holding the string 8ft above the ground at an angle of 73 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( " If the string is 50 ft long, find the altitude of the kite.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "This is a right triangle, we can use the sine of 73, Find the side opposite (s)
\n" ); document.write( "the kite string is the hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "sin(73) = \"s%2F50\"
\n" ); document.write( ".9563 = \"s%2F50\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 50 * .9563
\n" ); document.write( "s = 47.8 ft
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "All this takes place 8 ft above the ground, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "47.8 + 8 = 55.8 ft is the altitude
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":\r
