Answer:
The length of the string is 32.56 feet (Approx) .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
A kite is 37 feet in the air and string forms an angle of 62 degrees .
Now by using the trignometric identity.
[tex]sin\theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]
As shown in the figure given below.
[tex]\theta = 62^{\circ}[/tex]
Perpendicular = AB
Hypotenuse = AC = 37 feet
Put in the identity .
[tex]sin\ 62^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{AC}[/tex]
[tex]sin\ 62^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{37}[/tex]
[tex]sin\ 62^{\circ} = 0.88\ (Approx)[/tex]
Put in the identity
[tex]0.88 = \frac{AB}{37}[/tex]
AB = 0.88 × 37
AB = 32.56 feet (Approx)
Therefore the length of the string is 32.56 feet (Approx) .
