M 65m 1 K X 25m A Melissa is flying a kite. She is standing still and the kite is moving away from her at a constant height of 25m in a vertical plane that contains Melissa (M) and the kite (k). She keeps the string attached to the kite taut at all times, I.e. it forms the straight line segment MK, as shown in the diagram below. At a certain moment the length of the string is 65 metres and is increasing at a rate of 1.2 metres per second. How fast is the kite moving at that moment?
