Question

a boy is flying a kite with a string of length 100 m if the string is tight and angle of elevation of kite is 26°32` find the height of kite correct to one decimal place

Answer 1

let the height of kite=h
then
sin26°32'=h/100
h=100×sin26°32'
since sin(26°) = 0.438371
so
h=100×0.438371=43.837 m

Answer 2

Answer:- the height of the kite is 44.7 m (approx).

Step-by-step explanation:- see the attachment below.......

Note:- we got the value sin 26° 32' by using trigonometric tables of sines

In tables 26°30' (which is 0.4467) is there closest to 32' so given mean difference of 2 is 5,

So, 0.4462+0.0005=0.4467

Hope this will help you.......
