Use Pythagorean Theorem to figure out how high the Kite flew.







How high is the kite?

How high can you fly your kite?
Example:
C= 40 feet
A= 20 feet
B= ___ feet
How high can you fly your kite?
Example:
C= 40 feet
A= 10 feet
B= ___ feet
CHANGE 30 FEET TO 15 FEET










CHANGE 25 FEET TO 32 FEET


What if the string C is 40 feet and A (the distance under the string is 0?
What is happening to your kite?
