Question

anonymous 5 years ago A boy is flying a kite from a string of length 150m. If the string is taut and makes an angle of 67 degrees with the horizontal, what is the height of the kite?

Answer 1

$\sin (\theta) = \dfrac{\text{opposite}}{\text {hypotenuse}}$

Given that the angle is 67° and the length of the string is 150 cm

$\sin (67) = \dfrac{\text{height}}{\text {150}}$

$\text{height} = 150 \times \sin(67)$

$\text {height} = 138 \text{ cm}$

Answer: The height of the kite is 138 cm
