You are flying a kite. You have let out 2000 feet of string. The sun is directly overhead and is casting a shadow that is 1325 feet from you. How high is the kite? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest foot.​

Answer:

1,498 feet in elevation

Explanation:

h² + 1325² = 2000²

h² = 2000² - 1325²

h² = 2244375

h ≈ 1498
