3. A kite flier wondered how high her kite was flying. She used a protractor to measure an angle of 38° from level ground to the kite string. If she used a full 100-yard spool of string, how high, in feet, was the kite? (Disregard the string sag and the height of the string reel above the ground.) 4. Knowing the height of the Columbia Tower in Seattle, determine the height of the Seafirst Tower and the distance between the two towers. See Figure Below. ch Columbia Tower 954 ft Seafirst Tower 37 53° 5. A bridge over a river was damaged in an earthquake and you are called in to determine the length, d, of the steel beam needed to fill the gap. (See Figure Below). You cannot be on the bridge, but you are able to drop a line from T, the beginning of the bridge, and measure a distance of 50 feet to point P. From P you find the angles of elevation to the two ends of the gap to be 42° and 35°. How wide is the gap? 42 35이
