How much string is out if a kite is 100 feet above the ground and the string makes an angle of 65° with the ground? Draw a diagram and find the length of the string.
The angle is 65°, the opposite side is 100 feet. The string is the hypotenuse. sine (65) = 100 / hypotenuse hypotenuse = 100 / sine 65 hypotenuse = 100 / 0.90631 hypotenuse (length of the string) =
110.338 feet
