Airplane Kite

does anyone have a math problem about flying?
has to be seventh grade basis and about airplanes or kites
Hmm… Here’s one about the pythagorean Theorem
A kite is flying 16 meters above the ground, as measured from a certain point (altitude), and is attached to the ground by a string and nail (hypotenuse). Assume that the kite, nail, and point of altitude measurement make a right triangle. What is the distance between the point of altitude measurement and the nail, given that the string is 65 meters long?
Also, here’s one about algebra/ solving systems of equations
You are at an airport runway, and you notice two types of airplanes; Delta and Sigma. Delta planes have 3 red stripes, while Sigma planes have 4. you count 36 red stripes total on all the planes on the runway. In addition, Sigma planes have a blue star, while Delta planes have none. You count 3 stars. How many of each airplane is present on the runway?
Hope these interest you.
