Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the string, hypotenuse = 225 m
Angle of elevation, θ = 56°
Sine of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side over the hypotenuese.
Sin θ = [tex]\frac{Opposite side}{hypotenuse}[/tex]
substitute the values in the formula,
Sin 56° = [tex]\frac{h}{225}[/tex]
h = 225 (Sin 56°)
= 225 (0.83)
= 186.75 metres
The kite is 186.75 metres from the ground
