The 150-foot-long string of a kite you are flying is being pulled taut by the wind and makes an angle of 68° with the ground. How far from you would a person be if that person is directly underneath the kite? Round to the nearest tenth of a foot. Sketch and label a diagram below. How high is the kite from the ground? Assume you are 5.5 feet tall. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
