To find the length of the kite string, we can use trigonometry.
First, we will find the height of the kite by using the sine function:
sin(67°) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(67°) = height/14
height = 14 * sin(67°)
height ≈ 13.03 meters
Now we can find the length of the kite string using the Pythagorean theorem:
x² = 14² + 13.03²
x² = 196 + 169.54
x² ≈ 365.54
x ≈ √365.54
x ≈ 19.12 meters
Therefore, the length of the kite string is approximately 19.12 meters.
