A man is lying on the beach, flying a kite. He holds the end of the kite string at ground level and estimates the angle of elevation of the kite to be 55°. If the string is 195 m long, how high is the kite above the ground? (Round your answer to the nearest meter.)

Sagot :

This question uses trig

sin(55) = height/195

Therefore, height = 195sin(55) meters (just plug in calculator)
