‭Design a Kite-Flying Model‬

‭Design a‬‭rough draft‬‭of how you will fly your kite‬‭to‬‭“optimize”‬‭the kite’s‬
‭height with your teammates!‬

‭Instruction:‬
‭●‬ ‭Suppose the kite will‬‭not‬‭fly‬ ‭perfectly perpendicular‬‭to the ground.‬
‭●‬ ‭The‬ ‭maximum length‬‭for the‬‭string‬‭is‬‭50 meters‬‭.‬

‭Requirements:‬
‭●‬ ‭Draw a‬‭geometric diagram‬‭and‬‭label‬‭it with a‬ ‭chosen‬‭angle‬‭made by‬
‭the string to the ground, the‬‭length‬‭of the string,‬‭and the‬‭distance‬
‭between the person holding the string and the kite.‬
‭○‬ ‭Justify your reasoning for those choices in sentences.‬
‭●‬ ‭Calculate‬‭the estimated kite’s‬‭height‬‭using the trig‬‭ratio.‬
‭○‬ ‭Each person will use a‬‭different‬‭trig ratio, then‬‭compare‬‭your‬
‭answers.‬
