Anna has let out 50 meters of kite string when she observes that her kite is directly above Emily. If Anna is 35 meters from Emily, how high is the kite?

If you draw a picture you can see that the kite, Anna and Emily form a right triangle.
so you can use the pythagorean theorem to find the answer.
3 5 2 + b 2 = 5 0 2
1,225 + b^{2} = 2,500
b^{2} = 1,275
b = 35.7 meters

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we calculated the height of the kite to be approximately 35.67 meters above Emily. This was done by forming a right triangle with the kite string as the hypotenuse and the horizontal distance as one leg. The calculation showed that the height of the kite from Emily is about 35.67 meters.
