Algebra.Com's Answer #465653 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Consider this a right angled triangle. \n" ); document.write( "String = Hypotenuse. \n" ); document.write( "Height the kite is above the ground = Opposite side. \n" ); document.write( "Using Sin ratio \n" ); document.write( "Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse \n" ); document.write( "Sin(70) = Opposite/245ft \n" ); document.write( "Opposite = 245 * sin(70) \n" ); document.write( "Opposite = 230.23ft \n" ); document.write( "This is the height the kite is above the ground. \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( ":-) \n" ); document.write( " |
