Watch me soar as I kiss the sky.
What am I?

Riddle Answer: A kite

Brain Teaser Answer:
This forms a right triangle, where:

  • The string (hypotenuse) = 100 feet

  • The horizontal distance = 60 feet

  • The height is the missing side (h)

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:

a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2a2+b2=c2h2+602=1002h^2 + 60^2 = 100^2h2+602=1002h2+3600=10000h^2 + 3600 = 10000h2+3600=10000h2=6400h^2 = 6400h2=6400h=80h = 80h=80

So, the kite is 80 feet high in the air!
