Problem 1 How long must each cable me How far from the base

Problem #1

How long must each cable me?_______________

How far from the base of the tower should anchors be placed?_______________

Problem #2

Height=_______________

a) Angle of elevation 60 deg

Rt angled triangle with height = 200 foot

Hypotenuse = l ( lenght of cable

So, sin60 = 200/ l

l = 200/sin60 = 230.94 = 231 foot

b) Again right angled triangle with 14 deg , lenght of spool = 300foot is the hypotenuse and

height of kite is y.We need to find y

sin14 = y/300

y = 300*sin14 = 72.57 foot is the height of kite
