Question

Transcribed Image Text:A man flies a kite and lets out 100 feet of string. The angle of elevation of the string is 52°.
How far away is the man from the spot directly under the kite?
- 72.1 feet
- 61.6 feet
- 55.3 feet
- 58.5 feet
(Note: The question references a right triangle where the kite represents a point elevated by the 52° angle with a 100-foot hypotenuse, which is the string. The required distance is the base of the triangle.)
