Answer:
1. 466.3ft
2. 12.1m
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
Imagine this as a triangle like shown in pic attached, then use tan to find 'x', the distance between the base of the tower and the fire:
tanA=opposite/adjacent
tan25=x/1000
x=100tan25
x=466.3ft
2.
Imagine this as a triangle like shown in pic attached, then use sine to find 'x', the kite's vertical height above the boy's hand:
sinA=opposite/hypotenuse
sin12=x/50
x=50sin12
x=10.4m
The kite's height off the ground is this plus the height of the boy's hand from the ground: 10.4+1.7=12.1m
