Step-by-step explanation:
theta=60°
hypotenuse=30m
Therefore
sin theta = p/h
sin60 = p/30
√3/2=p/30
30√3 / 2 = p
15√3 = p
Therefore height of the flying kite from the ground is 15√3m.

Answer:
let the height be x metres
lenght of thread =30 metres
sin 60= perpendicular/hypotenuse
sin 60= √3/2
hypotenuse =30
√3/2=x/30
x=√3*30/2
x= √3*15
x=1.732*15
x= 25.98 metres
therefore the kite is 25.98 metres above ground
