Kari is flying a kite. She releases 50 feet of string. What is the approximate difference in the height of the kite when the string makes a 25o angle with the ground and when the string makes a 45o angle with the ground? Round to the nearest tenth.

sinα=h/L where h=height, L=string length...

h=Lsinα so

h(25°)=50sin25≈21.1ft

h(45°)=50sin45≈35.4ft
