Final answer:
Kayla is approximately 466.46 ft above the water.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the height above the water, we can use trigonometry and the concept of angle of depression. Let's define the height above the water as 'h'. We can use the tangent function to relate the height above the water to the length of the line connecting Kayla's parachute to the boat:
Tan(32°) = h / 800 ft
Solving for 'h', we have:
h = 800 ft * Tan(32°)
Calculating this equation, we find that Kayla is approximately 466.46 ft above the water.
