Quinn is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 46°, and the kite string forms a straight segment that is 80 feet long. Explain how to find the distance between the ground and the kite. Include a description of the triangle you drew to help

h = 55.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

angle on the ground Ф = 46°

distance of the string from Quinn to the kite = 80 feet.

to get the distance between the ground and the kite is by using the triangular formula Soh Cah Toa

in this case.. we use Cah ( Cos Ф = adj / hyp)

hyp = 80 ft

adj  = h

Cos 46° = h / 80

h = Cos (46°)  * 80

h = 55.6 ft

step-by-step explanation:

there are 36 inches in a yard

25 : 36 = 0.69 yards (you can round to 0.70)
