Question

Linda is flying two kites. She has 99 feet of string out to one kite and 112 feet out to the other kite. The angle formed by the two strings is 39° as shown in the figure below. Find the distance between the kites​

Answer 1

Answer:

71.49134 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Side a = 112

Side b = 99

Side c = 71.49134

Angle ∠A = 80.37° = 80°22'11" = 1.40272 rad

Angle ∠B = 60.63° = 60°37'49" = 1.0582 rad

Angle ∠C = 39° = 0.68068 rad

Answer 2

You can use sine to solve this exercise:
The sine law indicates that in any given triangle sin(angle)=opposite side/largest side
This way sin(39º)=x/112
Now you solve for x
X=112sin(39º)
X=70.5 approx.
