Answer 1

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.

So

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

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
