Kari is flying a kite. She releases 50 feet of string. What is the approximate difference in the height of the kite when the string makes a 25 degree angle with the ground and when the string makes a 45 degree angle with the ground? Round to the nearest tenth.

Verified Answer :

Kalahira

The height of the kite is calculated by the equation,

               h = (sin of the angle)(s)

where h is the height and s is the length of the string.

 25 degree angle: h = (sin 25 degree)(50 ft)

         h = 21.13 ft

 45 degree angle: h = (sin 45 degrees)(50 ft)

         h = 35.35 ft

 The difference between the two numbers is 14.25 ft.

 Answer: 14.25 ft
