x=34 is the correct answer!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
since the question does not have a given slope you can just put the point into the point slope formula y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-5 = m(x-(-2))
y-5 = m(x+2)
since the slope is not given, leave it like that
The altitude of the kite:
h = 5 + 250 · sin 45°
h = 5 + 250 · √2 / 2
h = 5 + 250 · 0.7071 = 5 + 176.77 = 181.77 ≈ 182 ft
Answer: The altitude is 183 ft.
See attached. The trick is to use similar triangles.
