Patty Cake and Jim Nasium are flying a kite. Patty is 200 m away from Jim who is holding the kite. Facing Jim, Patty finds the angle of elevation of the kite is 40 degrees . If the kite string makes an angle of 85 degrees with the ground, find the amount of string let out by Jim.

Amount of string let out by Jim will be 156.9 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between Jim and Patty = 200 m

Angle of elevation of the kite from Jim = 85°

Angle of elevation of the kite from Patty = 40°

Angle between the lines joining Jim and kite and Patty and the kite = 180° - (85 + 40)° = 55°

By applying Sine rule in the triangle formed by the kite, Jim and Patty,

x =

x = 156.94

  ≈ 156.9 m

Therefore, amount of string let out by Jim will be 156.9 m.
