Michael’s kite string is 72ft long. The angle of elevation from his position on the ground to the kite in the air is 65 degrees. Michael is 6ft tall. how high above the ground is the kite.

Answer 1

Draw and label a diagram. h represents the height of the kit from MIchael's hand.

Use the sine function

h / 72 = sin 65°

h = 72 sin 65°

Can you determine h and add 6?
