The distance between the ground and the kite is 65 feet.
To find the distance between the ground and the kite.
What is angle?
In Plane Geometry, a figure which is formed by two rays or lines that shares a common endpoint is called an angle.
Given that:
The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 40°.
The kite string forms a straight segment that is 100 feet long.
By the formula of height and distance,
sin40°=x/100
x=100*sin40°
x=100*0.6427
x=64.27 feet
X≈65 feet.
So, the distance between the ground and the kite is 65 feet.
