Question

Jackson is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 38° and the kite

string is 120 feet long. Jackson wants to determine how high the kite is from the ground. Draw and label a

triangle with this information. Then set up the trigonometric equation and solve for the height of the kite

from the ground. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

(For full credit include your labeled picture, trigonometric equation, and work for solving for the height)

Answer 1

height of the kite = 120sin38

draw a right triangle, with the kite length = the hypotenuse, height of the kite = opposite side

sin38 = opposite side over hypotenuse. hypotenuse times opposite side/hypotenuse = the opposite side's length = the height of the kite.

h = 120sin38 = about 73.88 feet high. Round to 74 feet
