Question

A person flying a kite has released 176 m of string . the string makes an angle of 27 degrees with the ground . how high is the kite? how far away is the kite horizontally? answer to the nearest meter

Answer 1

Answer:

80 m High and 157 m away

Step-by-step explanation:

Cos(27)=x/176

x= 156.8 m

Sin(27) = y/176

y = 80

Answer 2

The kite is 80 meter high and it is 157 meter far away horizontally.

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides of a triangle and its angles.

Let h represent the height of the kite and d represent the horizontal distance, hence:

sin(27) = h/176

h = 80 meter

cos(27) = d / 176

d = 157 meter

Hence the kite is 80 meter high and it is 157 meter far away horizontally.
