Question 1208979
.
A boy flying a kite lets out 300 feet of  string which makes an angle of 38° with the ground. 
Assuming that the string is straight, how high above the ground is the kite? Round to the nearest foot
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
In this problem, you have a right triangle, its hypotenuse of 300 ft long
and the angle of 38°, opposite to the height (=altitude) h, which is an unknown.


So, use the definition of the sine

    sin(38°) = {{{h/300}}},


and find the height

    h = {{{sin(38^o)*300}}} = {{{0.61566147532*300}}} = 184.7  feet  (rounded).
</pre>

At this point, the solution is complete.
