    Answer:

    149.8 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    θ = Angle of elevation = 33°

    The length of string Jaden lets out = Hypotenuse = 275 feet.

    How high above the ground that the kite is flying = Opposite Side.

    We are solving this question using the Trigonometric function of Sine

    Sin θ = Opposite Side/Hypotenuse

    Sin 33 = Opposite/275 feet

    Cross Multiply

    Sin 33 × 275 feet = Opposite

    Opposite side(Height ) = 149.77573463 feet

    Approximately to the nearest tenth = 149.8 feet
