The set up will form a right angled triangle. The distance that Laura let out her kite string will be the hypotenuse of the triangle, the angle that the kite makes with the ground will be the angle of elevation, facing the height of the kite.
The height of the kite H, will be the opposite side of the triangle since it is facing the angle directly. based on the trig identity SOH;
Original position: A-(-8,-4) B-(-6,3) C-(-3,7) D-(-2,-2) Translation: A'-(-4,-4) B'-(-2,3) C'-(1,7) D'-(2,-2) Vertex C will be in quadrant 1 (+,+) after being translated 4 unites to the right.
