Question 280438: A kite is tethered to a stake in the ground by a string 40ft. long, which makes an angle of 60 ft. If the kite fell vertically to the ground, how far away from the stake would the kite land? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A kite is tethered to a stake in the ground by a string 40ft. long, which makes an angle of 60 ft. If the kite fell vertically to the ground, how far away from the stake would the kite land?
-------------------
base = 40cos(60)
base = 40(1/2)
base = 20'
