The height of the kite will be 53.32 feet above the ground.
What is trigonometry?
The branch of mathematics sets up a relationship between the sides and the angles of the right-angle triangle is termed trigonometry.
Given that:-
- The boy is flying a kite, holding his hands a distance of 3.5 feet above the ground and
- letting all the kite's strings play out. He measures the angle of elevation from his hand to the kite to be 29°. If the string from the kite to his hand is 110 feet long, what is the total vertical height?
The height of the kite above the ground will be calculated as:-
[tex]Sin\theta = \dfrac{perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]
[tex]Sin(29)=\dfrac{H}{110}[/tex]
H = Sin(29) x 110
H = 53.32 feet
The hand of the boy is 3.5 above the ground so the total height H(t) of the kite above the ground will be:-
H(t) = 53.232 + 3.5
H(t) = 56.28 feet.
Therefore the height of the kite will be 53.32 feet above the ground.
