A man flies a kite and lets out 100 feet of string. The angle of elevation of the string is 52°. How far away is the man from the spot directly under the kite?

61.57 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture. You need to find the base value.

so we can sue the cosine formula here.

cos x° = adjacent / hypotaneous

cos 52 ° = adj / 100

adjacent = 100 cos 52°

               =61.57 ft
