Sam is flying a kite. the length of the kite string is 80 meters, and it makes an angle of 75° with the ground. the height of the kite from the ground is meters.

Verified Answer :

height equals 80 meters times sin(angle of 75 degrees)

h = 80 (0.966) = 77.27 meters height of kite from the ground

Answer:

Height of the kite from ground is 77 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length of the kite string = 80 m

           Angle of elevation = 75°

To find: Height of the kite from the ground.

Figure is attached.

In ΔABC

using trigonometric ratio,

\(sin\,75^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{AC}\)

\(0.97=\frac{AB}{80}\)

\(AB=0.97\times80\)

AB = 77.27 m

AB = 77 m (approx.)

Therefore, Height of the kite from ground is 77 m.
