In practical terms, the altitude cannot be measured accurately using line angle and line length unless a catenary equation is used. A more accurate measure is to use kite angle of elevation and horizontal distance to the kite. This can be done using and inclinometer or more accurately a theodolite. Why is your method not accurate? Gravity and wind drag cause line sag. There is nothing wrong with your maths. You could use the tan ratio with the kite angle and horizontal distance. I use GPS!
If I had a teacher like this, I would die... Be more enthusiastic
