A kite

Children have a kite on an 80m long rope, which floats above a place 25m from the place where children stand. How high is the dragon floating above the terrain?

Correct answer:

a =  75.9934 m

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} c=80\text{ m } \\ b=25\text{ m } \\ {a}^2+b^2=c^2 \\ a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=\sqrt{80^2-25^2}=5\sqrt{231}=75.9934\text{ m} \end{gathered}$$
