Question

A kite is flying 17 feet above ground on a string that is 25 feet long. What's the angle formed by the kite string and the ground? 47.16 34.22 42.840 40.22

Answer 1

Answer:

$\theta = 34.22^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Height = 17$

$Length = 25$

Required

The angle formed with the ground

To do this, we make use of the following:

$\tan(\theta) = \frac{Height}{Length}$

Where:

$\theta \to$ angle formed with the ground

So, we have:

$\tan(\theta) = \frac{17}{25}$

$\tan(\theta) = 0.68$

Take arctan of both sides

$\theta = \tan^{-1}(0.68)$

$\theta = 34.22^o$

Answer 2

Answer:

θ≈42.84
