Answer:

1. 466.3ft

2. 12.1m

Explanation:

1.

Imagine this as a triangle like shown in pic attached, then use tan to find 'x', the distance between the base of the tower and the fire:

tanA=opposite/adjacent

tan25=x/1000

x=100tan25

x=466.3ft

2.

Imagine this as a triangle like shown in pic attached, then use sine to find 'x', the kite's vertical height above the boy's hand:

sinA=opposite/hypotenuse

sin12=x/50

x=50sin12

x=10.4m

The kite's height off the ground is this plus the height of the boy's hand from the ground: 10.4+1.7=12.1m
