What is a kite string attached to?
Kite string comes on wooden dowels, about half an inch to an inch in diameter, with the string wrapped around the dowel. One end of the string is attached to the kite, while the other end is attached to the dowel that you hold while flying the kite. The dowel allows you to easily release more string to let the kite go higher, or to reel the kite back in to you.
You are flying a kite with two string on either side and you pull down on the right what direction will the kite fly right or left?
Right.
The string on a kite is tight and makes an angle of 25 degrees with the horizontal Find the height of the kite if 150 feet is let out and the end of the string is 4.5 feet above the ground?
Use the sine ratio to find the height of the kite: sine = opposite (height of kite with the horizontal) divided by the hypotenuse (the string) Rearrange the formula: sine*hypotenuse = opposite sine 25 degrees*150 = 63.39273926 feet Height of kite above the ground: 63.39273926+4.5 = 67.89273926 feet Therefore the kite is 68 feet above the ground to the nearest foot
Selma is flying a kite She lets out 80 feet of string Her brother moves to a point where he is standing directly under the kite He measures this distance to be 30 feet How high is the kite?
30 feet
Kite is 36 ft above the ground if the string of the kite makes a 58 degree angle with the ground what is the leg?
If a right angle triangle is formed then it is 36/tan(58) = 22.5 feet rounded
