Question

The measure of the angle of elevation of a kite is 30 degrees. The string of kites is 250m long. If the says in the string is 5m, what is the height of the kite?

Answer 1

f) 215 ft h) 245 ft

g) 230 ft j) 260 ft

h%2F300 = %28OPPOSITE%29%2FHYPOTENUSE  

       h%2F300 = sin(50�)

Multiply both sides by 300

                 h = 300�sin(50�)  

                 h = 229.8133329 feet  

So the choice closest to that is 230 feet, choice (g)
