Length of strip of kite = 20m

Height from his hand to kite = 14m

Let, angle of depression of Peter from the kite = "\\alpha"

Using sin "\\alpha" = perpendicular / hypotenuse

here, sin"\\alpha = 14\/20"

sin"\\alpha = 0.7"

"\\alpha = \\arcsin(0.7)"

"\\alpha = 44.4 \\degree"

Angle of depression = "44.4 \\degree"
