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 25o angle with the ground and when the string makes a 45o angle with the ground?

Sin x = Opposite/hypotenuse
Opposite = (hypotenuse) Sinx
From the diagram
h1 = 50Sin25 = 21.13 ft
h2 = 50Sin 45 = 35.36 ft
Difference in height = 35.36 - 21.13
= 14.23 ft
Opposite = (hypotenuse) Sinx
From the diagram
h1 = 50Sin25 = 21.13 ft
h2 = 50Sin 45 = 35.36 ft
Difference in height = 35.36 - 21.13
= 14.23 ft
