Answer:
178.7 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
The kite is (x + 5) ft above the ground. So we need to find x first.
Use the trigonometric identity Sine.
[tex]Sin\ \theta=\frac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}\\\\sin44=\frac{x}{250} \\\\x=250*sin44\\x=250*0.69\\x=173.66\ ft\\[/tex]
Rounding your answer to the nearest tenth would be 173.7 ft.
Now the kite is above the ground x + 5 which means
173.7 + 5 = 178.7 ft.
