I think it might be 3.63.

Answer:  Kyle's height off the ground would be 7.7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Angle of elevation = 35°

Distance from the top of the swing set directly to the ground = 11 feet

We need to find the Kyle's height off the ground.

We will use "Tangent of triangle":

[tex]\tan 35^\circ=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\0.7=\dfrac{P}{11}\\\\0.7\times 11=P\\\\7.7\ feet=P[/tex]

Hence, Kyle's height off the ground would be 7.7 feet.
