Answer:

178.7 ft.

Explanation:

The kite is (x + 5) ft above the ground. So we need to find x first.

Use the trigonometric identity Sine.


Sin\ \theta=(perpendicular)/(hypotenuse)\\\\sin44=(x)/(250) \\\\x=250*sin44\\x=250*0.69\\x=173.66\ ft\\

Rounding your answer to the nearest tenth would be 173.7 ft.

Now the kite is above the ground x + 5 which means

173.7 + 5 = 178.7 ft.
