Answer:

The height of the kite from the ground is 13.617 feet  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The measure of the string = 30 feet

The angle of elevation from the boy to his kite = 27°

Let the height of the kite from ground = H feet

So, From Triangle

Sin angle =

Or, Sin 27° =  

or, H = 30 ×  Sin 27°

I.e H = 30 × 0.4539

∴ H = 13.617 feet

Hence the height of the kite from the ground is 13.617 feet   Answer
