Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The image attached shows a representation of this problem.
First, we use the sine trigonometric reason to find [tex]y[/tex]
[tex]sin30\°=\frac{y}{3.5}\\\frac{1}{2}=\frac{y}{3.5}\\ y=\frac{3.5}{2}=1.75 m[/tex]
Now, the height of the kite is
[tex]h=1.75m+80cm[/tex]
But, first we need to transform from meters to centimeters
We know that 1 meter equals 100 cm, so
[tex]1.75m\frac{100cm}{1m} =175cm[/tex]
Then,
[tex]h=175cm+80cm=255cm[/tex]
Therefore, the kite is 255 centimeters from the ground level, which is equivalent to 2.55 meters.
