Answer:
[tex] \displaystyle 172.1 ft[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
refer the attachment
let the string be hypotenuse and
the height be h And the angle be 35°
given that,
- hypotenuse:300ft
- angle:35°
since we are given the hypotenuse and want to figure out the opposite side we'll use sin function
so our equation would be
[tex] \displaystyle \sin( {35}^{ \circ} ) = \frac{h}{300} [/tex]
cross multiplication:
[tex] \displaystyle h= 300 \sin( {35}^{ \circ} ) [/tex]
by using calculator we obtain:
[tex] \displaystyle h = 172.1[/tex]
hence,
about 172.1ft far up the tree is the kite
