Question 1191622: A person flying a kite holds the string 4 feet above ground level. The string of the kite is taut and makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal (see the figure). Approximate the height h of the kite above level ground if 400 feet of string is payed out. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A person flying a kite holds the string 4 feet above ground level. The string of the kite is taut and makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal (see the figure). Approximate the height h of the kite above level ground if 400 feet of string is payed out.
-----------------------------
h = 400*sin(60) + 4
