A 4-foot-tall child is flying a kite with 64 feet of string out. You measure the distance from where the child is standing to a point right underneath the kite and find it to equal 48 feet. How high up from the ground (in feet) is the kite? (Assume the child is holding the string 3 feet off the ground. Round your answer the nearest whole number.)
