Jennifrr is flying a kite. The kite has an angle of elevation of 51 degrees and us flying on a 40 feet of string. If jennifer is holding the end of the string 6 feet off the ground, how high above thr ground is the kite? 45.6 ft 37.1 ft 54.7ft 31.2 ft​

37.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right triangle with a horizontal side and a vertical side going up from one endpoint of the horizontal side. These two sides form the right angle of the triangle. Then draw a hypotenuse. The hypotenuse has length 40 ft. The acute angle at the end to the horizontal side measures 51°.

Let the length of the vertical side be y.

sin 51° = y/40

y = 40 * sin 51°

y = 31.1

The horizontal side of the triangle is not the ground. It is at the height of Jennifer's hand. Now we add 6 ft to the height.

31.1 ft + 6 ft = 37.1 ft

37.1 ft
