Jaxon is flying a kite, holding his hands a distance of 2.5 feet above the ground and
letting all the kite's string play out. He measures the angle of elevation from his hand
to the kite to be 33. If the string from the kite to his hand is 150 feet long, how many
feet is the kite above the ground? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a
foot if necessary

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As Jaxon holding his hands a distance of 2.5 feet above the ground.

means h1= 2.5 feet

elevation angle from the hand is 33° so ∅=33°

distance of kite from his hand is  150 feet

so from the image we can see , now

as we know that  ,

Sin∅ =h2/150

Sin33°=h2/150

0.55 =h2/150                   (Sin33°= 0.545)

so h2= 81.70 feet

so height from ground is (H)=h1+h2= 2.5+81.70

H=84.20 feet
