(05.02 MC) Quinn is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 44°, and the kite string forms a straight segment that is 90 feet long. Explain how to find the distance between the ground and the kite. Include a description of the triangle you drew to help you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. Round your answer to the nearest foot.
