The kite is directly 35.707 yards high above Erika

Step-by-step explanation:

Given scenario forms a right triangle where the length of string is the hypotenuse and the distance between Mary and Erika is the base.

$H = 50\ yards\\B = 35\ yards$

We have to find the perpendicular

Using pythagoras theorem,

$H^2 = B^2 + P^2$

Putting the values

$(50)^2 = (35)^2 + P^2\\2500 = 1225 + P^2\\P^2 = 1275\\$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{P^2} = \sqrt{1275}\\P= 35.707$

Hence,

The kite is directly 35.707 yards high above Erika

Yes. Take for example a square and an ellipsis with the same perimeter. The family of ellipses with the same perimeter can have any area between that of a circle to zero (if it is extremely “thin” i.e. if its eccentricity is large). The circle has the maximum area of any other shape with the same perimeter, so the square has the same area of one of the intermediate ellipses.
