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
