Question

22 Rico is flying his kite wit flying his kite with the aid of a southerly wind. He has let out 34 m of string, and the kite angle of elevation of 37º. His friend Edward stands to the west, 65 m away. a How far is Edward from the kite? b What is the angle of elevation from Edward to the kite? 34 m 65 m

I'm having problems with letter b in this problem, for a I got 73.4m which is just the hypotenuse in triangle ERK. the answer for b is supposed to be 16.2 but I thought it was only getting the angle in triangle ERK... I'm not sure what's wrong...

Answer 1

yes, your answer is correct.

Solution 34sin37= 20.4 34m opposite hypotenuse sino = E- edmard Base piro hypotenuse a) zJwar) Jispance from Kire J(o0)+0715) 4225+737.1225 I4962.1225 Dislance = 70.44 meter (6) angle of elevation from Eduward to the kite EOk = hy potencese of Gony+ (20143)2 4962-1225 +418.6116 hypotenuse 73.35 20.45 Sino: 0:278838287. 73.34 Sin (0.27 88 38287) 1, 0 = 16. 19° Any 34 los37=27.15
