A boy flying a kite lets out 300ft of string which makes an angle of 38 degrees with the ground. Assuming that the string is straight, how high above the ground is the kite?
I think:
you have hyp. 300 ft. and angle 38 degrees. The question is asking for opposite of 38 degrees
So what deals with the opposite and hyp.
\(sin=\frac oh \\ sin(38)=\frac{O}{300} \\ sin(38)*300=O \\O=184.6984425976974839\dots\)
