katie and mat are both flying kites on a breezy day. the string of katie's kite is extended 864 feet, and her kite makes a 38% angel of elevation with the ground. The string of Matt's kite is extended 725 fee, and his kite makes a 40% angel of elevation with the ground. determine the altitude of each triangle?

I'm assuming that 38% and 40% are actually 38° and 40°, respectively
Height of Kate's kite = 864*sin(38) = about 531.9 ft
Height of Matt's kite = 725*sin(40) = about 466.02 ft.
