Question 583959: A kite is flying at an angle of elevation of 55 degrees. Ignoring the sag in the string find the height of the kite if 85 meters of string have been let out. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Sin 55 deg = opposite side/hypotenuse
0.819 = height/string length
0.819 * 85= height
height = 69.6 m
