When a kite is 22 m above the ground, it makes an angle of 43° with the horizontal. How much string was released? *

Respuesta :

Answer:

The length of string = 32.35 meter (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Vertical height of kite = 22 meter

Angle with horizontal = 43°

Find:

The length of string

Computation:

Using trigonometry function;

Vertical height of kite [Perpendicular]  = 22 meter

The length of string[Hypotenuse]

Sin θ = Perpendicular / Hypotenuse

Sin 43 = 22 / Hypotenuse

0.68 = 22 / Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 22 / 0.68

Hypotenuse = 32.35 meter

The length of string = 32.35 meter (Approx.)
