Please help :) Quinn is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 46°, and the kite string forms a straight segment that is 80 feet long.

Explain how to find the distance between the ground and the kite. Include a description of the triangle you drew to help you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Your given scenario should look something like this:

|dw:1579057136277:dw|

So you need to find x. You can do that with your trig ratios. The relation between x and the given length is opposite/hypotenuse from the angle. That means that you need to take the sine of 40° and equate it to the ratio of the opposite leg over the hypotenuse:

sin (40°)=

Isolate x and solve.

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate x just multiply all by 100, then use your calculator to evaluate the value of x.

Be sure to go on the calculator and use DEGREES, not radians, because the problem specifies the angle of elevation in degrees.

sin(40°)=  

100 sin (40°)=x

Now just use your calculator to find the answer

answer should be 64.27

the answer is 54 sq. ft. i just did this question, on odyssey ware, and it was right. make brainliest.
