Answer:

[tex]C=252.2ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

First Kite Distance [tex]A=450ft[/tex]

Second Kite Distance [tex]B=390ft[/tex]

Angle [tex]\theta=34\textdegree[/tex]

Generally the equation for Distance X between the kites is mathematically given by

Using Cosine Rule

 [tex]C^2=A^2+B^2-2abCos \theta[/tex]

Therefore

 [tex]C^2=(450)^2+(390)^2-2(450)(390)Cos 34[/tex]

 [tex]C^2=63607.81[/tex]

 [tex]C=\sqrt(63607.81)[/tex]

 [tex]C=252.2ft[/tex]
