You are flying a kite on a line that is 350 feet long. Let's suppose the line is perfectly straight (it never really is) and it makes an angle of 65 degrees with the horizontal direction. The kite is flying at an altitude of feet.

The kite is flying at an altitude of approximately 317.20 feet.

The situation will form a right angle triangle.

The hypotenuse of the triangle is the will be the line of the kite which is 350 ft long.

The line makes an angle of 65° with the horizontal  direction. The horizontal direction is the adjacent of the triangle formed.

Using trigonometric ratio, the altitude of the kite can be found below.

The altitude of the kite is the height/ opposite side of the triangle.

Therefore,

sin 65° = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 65° = opposite / 350

cross multiply

opposite = 350  × sin 65

altitude of the kite = 350 × 0.90630778703

altitude of the kite = 317.207725463

altitude of the kite ≈ 317.20 ft

We can think that the line of the kite is the hypotenuse of a triangle rectangle, and the altitude is one of the cathetus of the triangle.

And we know that it makes an angle of 65° with the horizontal (i guess this is measured between the hypotenuse and the horizontal adjacent to the kite.

This angle is complementary to the top angle of our triangle rectangle, such that A + 65° = 90°

A = 90° - 65° = 25°

Then the altitude of the kite is the adjacent cathetus to this angle.

We can use the relation:

sin(A) = Adjacent cathetus/hypotenuse.

Sin(25°) = X/350ft

Sin(25°)*350ft = X = 147.9m
