Question 74

Seema flies a kite on a 16 m string at an inclination of $$60^{0}$$. What is the height (h) of the kite above the ground?

Solution

sin$$\theta$$ = perpendicular/hypotenuse

 sin60$$\degree$$ = height/16

$$\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$$ = height/16

Height = 8$$\sqrt3$$

$$\therefore$$ Kite is 8$$\sqrt3$$ m above of the ground.
