I need help solving for the question below For the following word problems, assume each triangle made is a right triangle. Find the missing value asked in the problem.

Henry is flying a kite. The kite string makes an angle of 43 degrees with the ground. If Henry is standing 100 feet from a point on the ground directly below the kite, find the length of the kite string. (answer to 4 decimal spaces) *
Your answer

check the picture below.

well, the angle at the vertex d is clearly not a right-angle, let's check for the one at the vertex f which does look like,   however if it's indeed, that means ef is perpendicular to df, in which case their slopes will be negative reciprocal of each other.

so the negative reciprocal of the slope of ef is 1, however the slope of df is not 1, is 1/2, so nope, they're not perpendicular lines.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.

hope it
