Kite and Angle of Elevation Problems

This document contains 3 math word problems. The first problem asks how high Brian's kite is above his head if it is flying at the end of 65m of string and the angle of elevation is 70 degrees. The second problem asks for the distance from an airplane at an altitude of 1200m to a building below it if the angle of depression is 28 degrees. The third problem asks for the height of a flagpole if the angle of elevation to its top from a point 12 feet from its base is 53 degrees.

NAME:__________________________________________ Math 9

1. Brian’s kite is flying above a field at the end of 65 m of string. If the angle of elevation to the kite measures 70°, how
high is the kite above Brian’s head?

2. From an airplane at an altitude of 1200 m, the angle of depression to a building on the ground measures 28°. Find the
distance from the plane to the building.

3. From a point on the ground 12 ft from the base of a flagpole, the angle of elevation of the top of the pole measures
53°. How tall is the flagpole?
