Question

Brian's kite is flying above a field at the end of 65m of string. If the angle of 2 points elevation to the kite measures 70 degrees, how high is the kite above Brian's head ? 65 m 70 50 m 61 m 63 m 59 m

Answer 1

To find the height of the kite above Brian's head, we can use trigonometry.

Let the height of the kite above Brian's head be h.

Using the tangent function:

tan(70 degrees) = h / 65m

h = 65m * tan(70 degrees)

h ≈ 138.34 m

Therefore, the height of the kite above Brian's head is approximately 138.34m.
