Question

alice is flying a kite. Her hand is three feet above ground level and is holding the end of a 300-foot-long kite, which makes an angle of 57 degrees with the horizontal. How high is the kite above the ground?
This is not calculus. It is basic trigonometry.

The kite is 300 sin 57 above her hand. Add 3 feet to that for the height above the ground.

Assume the string is 300 feet long, not the kite itself
