Quinn is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 40°, and the kite string forms a straight segment that is 100 feet long. Explain how to find the distance between the ground and the kite. Include a description of the triangle you drew to help you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. Round your answer to the nearest foot

63 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we will use the information we know to form a trig relationship to solve. We know angle as well as the side opposite of the angle and the hypotenuse (or slanted side). When using the opposite side and hypotenuse we use a sine relationship:

sine (angle) = opposite / hypotense

sin(44) = x / 90

Now multiply both sides by 90 and solve:

sin(44) = x/90

90* sing(44) = x

62.5 = x

Now it says to round to the nearest foot so our answer would be 63 feet.
