The difference in height of the kite above the ground is 14.2 feet.

Trigonometric ratio

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of a right angled triangle.

Let h represent the height of the kite above the ground.

For an angle of 25°:

sin(25) = h/50

h = 21.1 feet

For an angle of 45°:

sin(45) = h/50

h = 35.4 feet

Difference in height = 35.4 - 21.1 = 14.2
