Quinn is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 40°, and the kite string forms a straight segment that is 100 feet long. Explain how to find the distance between the ground and the kite. Include a description of the triangle you drew to help you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. Round your answer to the nearest foot.

step-by-step explanation:

assume that you have 3 different side lengths.   apply the pythagorean theorem here:   square each of the two shortest sides; call them a and b, so that their squares are a² and b².   also square the longest side, calling the result c².

now, if a² + b² = c² is true, the triangle is a right triangle; otherwise it is not a right triangle.

the answer is d

for problems like this theres an app, its photomath that explains the problem and gives the answer hope i
