Which kite is higher and by how much?

Question

Carter and Katelyn are flying kites on a windy spring day. Carter has released 150 feet of string, and Katelyn has released 125 feet of string. The angle that Carter’s kite string makes with the horizontal is 35°. The angle that Katelyn’s kite string makes with the horizontal is 42°. 

Answer 1

h =height of kite

L = length of string

θ = angle above horizontal

h = L sinθ

Carter:

h = 150 sin35° = ?

Katelyn:

h = 125 sin42° = ?

Evaluate h for both of them and compare.
