Question

5
A kite is flying such that its string makes an angle of 60° with the
ground. If the length of the string is 100m. then the height of the
kite is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given, OK is 100m and the angle of elevation at O is 60°

Let the height of the kite be h

In right ΔOKP

$\sin(60) = \frac{h}{100}$

$h = 100 \sin(60)$

$h = 100 \times \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}$

$h = 100 \times \frac{1.732}{2}$

$h = 86.5cm$
