How much string to fly kite 200 ft in the air?

It depends on the angle that your string is to the ground. At a 45° angle it would take 200 ft * sqrt(2) = 282.843 feet for the hypotenuse of the triangle, for example. For any angle, it is (200 ft) / sin(angle)

The string on a kite is tight and makes an angle of 25 degrees with the horizontal Find the height of the kite if 150 feet is let out and the end of the string is 4.5 feet above the ground?

Use the sine ratio to find the height of the kite: sine = opposite (height of kite with the horizontal) divided by the hypotenuse (the string) Rearrange the formula: sine*hypotenuse = opposite sine 25 degrees*150 = 63.39273926 feet Height of kite above the ground: 63.39273926+4.5 = 67.89273926 feet Therefore the kite is 68 feet above the ground to the nearest foot
