Answer: approximately 311 feet

I rounded to the nearest whole number since the other given values are whole numbers. The more accurate value is roughly 310.825323188148 feet.

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. When using the 47 degree as the reference angle, we know that,

  • opposite side = x
  • hypotenuse = 325

We can say:

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(47) = x/425

425*sin(47) = x

x = 425*sin(47)

x = 310.825323188148

x = 311

The kite is approximately 311 feet off the ground.
