Algebra.Com's Answer #594542 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is a 30-60-90 triangle, with height off the ground being 1 meter plus the height of the kite. \n" ); document.write( "The string represents the hypotenuse, and the opposite angle is half the hypotenuse, or half 30 meters.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The kite is 15 meters above his hand or 16 meters off the ground\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "| \n" ); document.write( "| \n" ); document.write( "| \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( " |
