You are holding a kite string in your hand. The angle of elevation from your hand to the kite is 44∘ and the distance to the kite is 250 feet. Your hand is 5 feet above the ground. How high is the kite? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

The height of the kite is equal to

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

The point A is your hand and point C is the kite

we know that

In the right triangle BCD

---> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the given values

solve for CD

The height of the kite is equal to

  q

step-by-step explanation:

each line from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side is called a median. the point where the medians intersect, point q, is the centroid.

the centroid of δabc is point q.
