A man is lying on the beach, flying a kite. He holds the end of the kite string at ground level and estimates the angle of elevation of the kite to be 55°. If the string is 350 ft long, how high is the kite above the ground? (Round your answer to the nearest foot.)

The height of the kite above the ground is 287 ft

The length of the string, the height of the kite (h) above ground and the perpendicular distance from the end of the kite string to the man forms a right angled triangle.

Trigonometric shows the relationship between the lengths and angles of a right angled triangle.

Therefore using trigonometric ratios:

sin(55) = h / 350

h = 287 ft

Therefore the height of the kite above the ground is 287 ft.

The kite is approximately 345 feet above the ground.
