???!!

The height of the nearest tree has nothing to do with the height of the kite; and there is nothing in the statement of the problem that DOES make it possible to know the height of the kite.

Was something left out in your statement of the problem?

Re-post with enough information to solve the problem.

What a comic post . . .


Thanks for making me laughing . . .


If you add more picturesque details (cows, cats, goats), you may write an essay and post it to New York Times, for example . . .
