Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

A scale model of a school building is 5 inches tall.

Actual size of the school building is 100 feet.

1 feet=12 inches

100 feet=12×100 inches

= 1200 inches

5 inch is representing 1200 inches

1 inch represents 1200/5 inches

1 inch represents 240 inches

or 1 inch represents 12×20 inch

or 1 inch represents 20 feet

Scale of the model is:

1 inch represents 240 inches

1 inch represents 20 feet

Finger [1]

Okay so form a right angle triangle and the angle of that is 65 as it is right angle so 90 - 25= 65. label the sides like the pic below.

we have the hypothenuse as well as the angle and we are trying to find the o(opposite side)

o/h =sin
sin 65=23/h
sin 65 = 23/x
23/sin 65=x
x=25.4
how high the kite is above ground is :
= 25.4 +1.2
=26.6
