The kite is flying 415.84 feet from the ground

How to determine the height?

The given parameters are:

  • Length of the string, L = 725 feet
  • Angle, x = 35 degrees

Let the height be h.

So, we have the following sine function

sin(x) = h/L

Make h the subject

h = L * sin(x)

This gives

h = 725 * sin(35)

Evaluate

h = 415.84

Hence, the kite is flying 415.84 feet from the ground
