Heather is flying a kite at the park. The string makes an angle of 53° with the level ground. The kite is 28 meters above the ground. How long is the string from heather. To the kite?

35.06 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

This represents a right angled triangle.

The height of the kite above the ground represents the opposite side while the length of the string of the heather of the kite is the hypotenuse.

We need to find the hypotenuse, h.

We can use the sine part of the trigonometric function SOHCAHTOA:

sin(Ф) = opp / hyp

where opp is the side opposite the angle

hyp is the hypotenuse

=> sin(53) = 28 / h

h = 28 / sin(53)

h = 35.06 meters

The length of the string from the heather to the kite is 35.06 meters
